I was my dad’s remote control.

Me too. And I was voice activated.

“I was my dad’s remote control.
Me too. And I was voice activated.”

I remember when remote controls were first available for television sets. Our neighbor had one and if you put it up to your ear and clicked it you would hear faint tuning fork noise from the inside. I think you had five channels or so on this remote control and each button activated a tuning rod sound to the television which clicked to the appropriate channel that the tuning Rod was supposed to activate. My neighbor also noticed that his dog’s squeak toy would change channels intermittently and when this German Shepherd of his would get that squeak toy he would be squeaking it like crazy and the television would be switching channels all over the place. It was pretty funny but also interesting.
