Do you know that remote controls may soon become extinct? The truth about Technology is that it ridicules an existing trend and makes it almost meaningless. In many homes today, kids are not allowed to play with the remote controls. Remote controls will, however, be more or less useless as more smartphones and tablets come with what is known as IR Blasters.
New versions of smartphones come equipped with IR blasters, which is the same infrared technology that your old TV remote use in communicating with your TV. If you have a phone that comes equipped with it, head over to an app store and download a “Smart Remote” App – some are free while some are paid.
If you use an Android phone, then, I recommend Smart Remote by Peel. With it, you can control your TV, DVD player, Blu-ray, audio system and any other gadgets that have in-built IR blaster.
Technology is indeed changing everything!
