Were TV remotes a mistake? -
Were TV remotes a mistake?@helenclayton @suearcher @afewbugs I’m remembering our halls in Camden (met my missus on the first day
) and I don’t think there was a TV? Don’t think anyone had one and I can’t remember a common room or anything? Seems impossible now! -

Were TV remotes a mistake?@suearcher @afewbugs yes! Good point. Don’t know. But my mate - aged maybe 10 - in 1980, called his old fishing rod the remote control. And I don’t think he invented the concept!

Were TV remotes a mistake?@afewbugs I remember - my folks refused to have a TV which wasn’t very cool in the 70s - going round to my best mate. Remote controls must have existed coz he had half a fishing rod which he could press the buttons with to change channel between BBC 1, 2 and ITV. Each one had its own physical button. Because that was it: no other channels nor any others conceivable
