Inventor of the TV Remote Dies

Inventor of the TV Remote Dies: "Hit the mute button for a moment of silence: The co-inventor of the TV remote, Robert Adler, has died."
But he downplayed his role when asked if he felt his invention helped raise a new generation of couch potatoes.
"People ask me all the time — 'Don't you feel guilty for it?' And I say that's ridiculous," he said. "It seems reasonable and rational to control the TV from where you normally sit and watch television."
