Most of us often detest the amount of control our parents exert over our lives during our younger days, as their lectures are more often than not littered with “do nots” rather than “go ahead”.

Thankfully, karma has a way of placing us in our parents’ shoes when we ourselves behold a bundle of joy in our arms, promising to take good care of our kid, forming a list of “do nots” in our minds already.

Don’t leave grandpa out of the loop when your entire family catches up this upcoming holiday season, discussing about the tons of forwarded e-mail, funny pictures, as well as quotes from President Bush concerning “the Google” which he uses to view his ranch via “the Internets”.

It is interesting to note that in this day of age and time, people still trade business cards the first time they meet up instead of beaming it over via IrDA or Bluetooth.

So you have had a tough day at the office and arrived home, kicking off your socks and planting your tush on the La-z-Boy, hoping to see what the almighty TV is able to offer you in terms of entertainment. You sense that something is amiss and start to panic when you realize the TV remote control is nowhere in sight, and turning the couch upside down yielded no positive results either. Muttering a line of curses under your breath that will even send Harry Potter into oblivion, you walk up to the TV and do the unthinkable - you turn it on manually. How nice would it be if you never get caught in such a situation? That is now possible with the Super-Sized TV Remote Control from Brookstone.
