That was my question.

I can turn on my own lightbulbs, thank you.

I remember having a remote control tv older than I was, a 1950’s model Philips or Zenith model I think. It worked by sound wave signals when you pushed a button.

On occasion some noise from the kitchen would match the frequency and turn the channel unexpectedly. LOL

And it was a grueling experience, having to trudge through 7 feet of shag carpet to do it, right?
