Being the remote control was probably one of the reasons my dad kept me. I remember the first remote control we had. It was mechanical. You would push the button and a small metal rod inside the remote would be pushed into a stationary piece of metal. The frequency of the metal hitting metal would change the channel. The volume worked the same but at a different tone. We had a dog that had a chain "choker" collar. If he started scratchin his neck with his back paw the chain would start rattling and the channel would start changing. It would keep on changing till the dog quit or was restrained. We had to take the dog's collar off when we watched tv or take the chance he would start changing channels.
