We didn't have three channels until the 60s and never had a remote. The remote was my father telling me to go change the channel. He didn't have to say which one, as there were two.
My mother's cousin had to have the latest stuff all the time, and he had a remote that used ultrasound. The problem with that is if you jingled some keys, the TV would change channels or turn off. :)
No one knows what the heck I'm talking about when I ask "where's the clicker??" It rubbed off on me from my grandma when I was young. I'm 28 and I'm not changing!
My dad got an antenna, prior to cable, to pick up the channels, but you had to mannually rotate the antenna, depending on the location it was broadcast from. He had this tuning fork type "clicker" that would do a high-pitched "ping" that would change the channels, but only in one direction, one at a time, so it would take about a half minute of clicking to get back to the channel you started with (and if you changed the channel, you might have to rotate the antenna :) )
Better question, can Biden even see the tv from there. Who is going to find the "clicker" for him.
Roflllllll, youngsters don't know about clickers!
Not one, but three channels! And it's corded so you'll never lose it!

We HD a Motorola TV that had a remote that used air frequency Cy through a tube. ND YES, jingling keys would change it.
I wonder if thats the same technology uploaded into NPCs. Jingle some keys and they turn their brains off.

Brick sized remote control fir the TV, when it was mechanical and pressing a button was a 'click'! Hahahaha
My grandmother always called it a "puncher", because you punch the buttons with your finger.
We mash buttons in our house. (Often with a Sean Connery accent. βMaschβ)
Can anyone? I definitely couldn't. Very impractical setup.
And who will turn the record player on for him, or change a record??
Or wipe his butt?
