Oh, but it's better than that!The first wireless remote wasn't optical....it was acoustic. And it was basically a little box with chimes in it, pitched to a range above audible....to the (male) engineers who designed it.
Now, these guys, after inventing it and being first m*f*ers on the planet with a g*d* remote control did EXACTLY what you'd expect a bunch of dudes with a remote control to do...they used the HELL out of it. TV goes on, TV goes off, TV goes on, TV goes off, channel goes up, channel goes down. For HOURS at a time.
UNTIL!Suddenly, a very irate woman from the next office over busts in and is like "If you jackasses don't stop that we're going to come over and murder stab you. We can't work."
Your engineers are all puzzled. What? Why? How is "lady folk messing with men just wanting to watch TV already a thing?"
"No, beacuse of at the damn noise"
<guys hesitantly turn down TV volume> "better?"
"No! The bells?"
"Bells?"
Turns out....the control tones were PLENTY audible to the ladies, and it was a constant stream of BING! BING! BING! every time they pushed a button, and of course it was driving them batty.
