In Pictures: A tribute to the TV remote control - Past, present, and future
A look at the history of remote controls, some of the coolest remotes out now, and what's ahead for changing the channels on your TV.
Eugene Polley, Inventor
Although the form, the number of buttons, and the interface may have changed since Eugene Polley's invention of the Flash-Matic TV remote in 1955, the purpose of the TV remote remains the same: Allow people to control devices and appliances wirelessly without having to get up off the couch.
There's no denying the TV remote's impact on the way we change channels, navigate a DVR, or stream Netflix movies. In honor of Polley, who passed away on May 20 at age 96, here's a look at the past, present, and future of the device, and a collection of some of the most innovative remote controls.
