Convenience-Remote Controls

I must admit that convenience has made us lazy. After all, when was the last time you got up to change the channel on the TV? Nowadays, we just get up to change the DVD. Either that or we succomb to bodily needs and evacuate to the proper facilities to address the situation. The humble remote control device has stealthfully lead many to the road of ruin that we call inactivity, myself included. It is with much faith that we will deny that a remote does not work to the very last fiber of our beings. By most accounts we would rather inch closer with the remote pointed at the TV than walk the gargantuan distance in a single movement to the TV because we believe the remote would never let us down like that. Of course, its not the remote thats not functioning. Its the batteries have been drained and caused the predicament. We turn our anger towards these good for nothing for their short lifespans. Then, we beg forgiveness from the remote for ever thinking they would let us down.
