My Fave:

21. Zenith Space Command (1956)

The first widely used TV remote control had four buttons (power, volume, channel up, channel down), but no batteries. Press a button, and a tiny hammer inside the remote would strike an aluminium rod, transmitting an ultra high-frequency tone to control the set. The Space Command ruled the living room for more than 25 years before being replaced by remotes using infrared technology. And, thus, a nation of couch potatoes was born. For more information, see Zenith's remote control history page .
