Death of the Inventor of First Wireless Remote Control


The Inventor of the first wireless television remote control, Eugene J. Polley, has died (he was 96).  The first-ever wireless TV remote control, called the "Flash-Matic,"  changed channels on a TV set using a photo-cell activating flashlight-like device. The Flash-Matic was temperamental, requiring precise angling to successfully work.
