Gotta have spares
While remote controls are supposed to make our lives easier (nobody likes getting up from their seats and playing with a TV’s buttons), they’ve also become a major source of headache. For some strange reason, we always tend to misplace our remote controls and end up finding them in the weirdest spots.
But if you’re a boomer, then you most likely never experienced this problem since the invention of standalone remote controls. Try going to your parents’ home and counting how many remote controls they have for the TV alone. Having spares on hand sounds like a good idea until you lose them all. Just download a remote controll app on your smartphone.
