When I was a kid I had to walk barefoot across the living room in order to change the channel on the TV and it did not matter if it was raining or snowing or if there was a hurricane going on outside. Kids nowadays have it way too easy.

I saw my first remote TV controller in 1960. It was a Zenith TV with Space Command remote. You pressed a bar and the unit went ‘clunk,’ inasmuch as it was sound activated.

LOL! I did that too on my Dad's B&W TV set, actually has to turn the knob to change channels. I also had a lawn mowing business with a friend of mine, we charged 50¢ for both front and back lawns (this was in the early to mid 1960s).
