Universal Remote Control

Each of us dreams of a lazy existence, so that you simply lie and all that you want is fulfilled at the same moment. But luckily or the technology has not reached such a point. I want to offer for your consideration an ordinary thing at the first glance — a remote control, it may seem to you that it is pointless to improve it, and nothing good will come of it, BUT I’ll convince you of this. I’m sure that when the technology reaches this, then you won’t be able to live without it, especially if you don’t have money for smart devices such as Alice’s assistant, etc.

I suggest you look at an ordinary remote control from a different point of view, what if it performs all the functions? It will be a UNIVERSAL REMOTE for all the equipment that you have! You probably ask why you need it? Firstly, it will not have ANY buttons (it will be touch-sensitive); and will NOT require charging and batteries (it will work from sunlight, and because of this, it will be environmentally friendly); it will also be equipped with a speaker that will make a sound when the remote is lost (you just have to call it). And also it is impossible to break because it is shockproof and has a protective glass.

You are not yet convinced that you need it? It has a bunch of advantages, such as: it turns on quickly, turns on all remotes, it can turn on / off any device, and if you have games on your TV, it can work like a joystick in games, and it also includes a keyboard and you can easily type any text on your Smart TV.

Count all the advantages of this device. Economical, practical, innovative, and the biggest plus is that even your grandmother can figure out how it works, as the remote control itself can help her do it. And you don’t have to kill your nerves, because there is nothing to break and fall out, and it will serve you for many years!

In the end I want to say - that the future is closer than it might seem to you.
