1.	REMOTE	CONTROL
The first machines to be operated by remote	control were used mainly for military purposes. Radio-
controlled motorboats, developed by the German navy, were	used in World War I. Radio-controlled
bombs	and other remote-control weapons were used in World	War II.

Once the wars were over, United States scientists experimented to find non-military uses for remote control. In the late 1940s automatic garage door openers were invented, and in the 1950s the first TV remote controls were used.

The first TV remote control, called	«Lazy	Bones»,	was developed in	1950 by	Zenith Electronics
Corporation. It used a cable that ran	from the TV set	to the	viewer. A motor in the TV set operated
the tuner through the remote control.	Although customers liked having remote control of their television,
they complained that people tripped	over the	cable that was	lying across	the living	room floor.

Zenith engineer Eugene Polley invented the «Flashmatic», which was int the industry’s first wireless TV remote control. While it pioneered the control, the «Flashmatic» had some limitations. It was a simple devic and, if the TV happened to be in an area in which the sun shone difficulties in switching the channels.
