I dont think remote controls promote a sedentary lifestyle.
Most people exert more energy looking for the remote than they would by just getting up
and turning on the TV. I dont think the remote control
gets lost. I think my wife just hides it from me.
Kids used to fight over which TV show to watch. Now they just
fight over the remote.
Remote controls are very valuable. They let you see that
theres nothing on TV worth watching a lot faster.
I wish I had a remote control for my mother-in-law. Id
have her on mute most of the time.
