The only downside is he might delete your recording or buy a PPV playing with the remote. But since he was three, he was all over using the remote, and he figured the damn thing out on his own.

The only people who really need simple remotes are the older folks we keep trying to force our next great technology upon. My mom would rather listen to NPR than figure out another set top box.]]>Feb 4th 2007 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/origami-tv-remote-control-redefines-remote-simplicity/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/origami-tv-remote-control-redefines-remote-simplicity/Feb 4th 2007 6:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/origami-tv-remote-control-redefines-remote-simplicity/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/origami-tv-remote-control-redefines-remote-simplicity/Feb 4th 2007 10:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/origami-tv-remote-control-redefines-remote-simplicity/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/origami-tv-remote-control-redefines-remote-simplicity/
Back to the point, even if this isn't real, it could easily be done with some kind of contact points using low wattage and tin foil (like you see in some of those "Make Your Own DDR Pad" how-to's as well as other projects, in fact I did something like this in elementary science class... damn I miss elementary school) or some kind of flexible membrane if you want to get fancy like. I'll stick with my universal re-monster for now... now get out of my way, you are blocking the pretzel beam!

She changes the DVDs herself and gets them playing on the correct TV channel. She also knows how to change TV to the correct channel for her kids TV shows and turns the volume up and down!

And my one year old son knows how to turn the TV on and off and eject the DVDs.

We don't even allow them to watch that much TV. We play games most of the time!

Give kids more credit!]]>Feb 5th 2007 4:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/origami-tv-remote-control-redefines-remote-simplicity/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/origami-tv-remote-control-redefines-remote-simplicity/
