5 remote controls we actually wish existed and that we’d definitely use

Niamh Maher

Ahhhhhh the remote control it’s a godsend really.

A few years back some genius invented a universal remote control although we’re still not sure how to use them, and for some reason, we don’t think they apply to us. Ever since, there’s been a remote control for absolutely everything.

We’re pretty sure remote controls will be around forever, simply standing up and turning something on ourselves will not do. As is the modern age, if there’s something to be done… we want a device to do it for us.

We’re so invested in the power of the remote that we thought we’d compile a list of our ULTIMATE dream remote controls. Yes, they don’t exist yet… but perhaps writing about them will give some tech whizz an urge to create them. We don’t have the time to create these ourselves,  but we need them.

  • A remote control that painlessly removes all our hair – We are women, we have hair, that’s fine… the kicker is it hurts like a MOTHER to take it all off. So if someone could go ahead and invent this, that would be swell.

  • A remote control that mutes commuters – This is just because sometimes we get crabby in the mornings, and it’s our remote control fantasy so we can include whatever we want.

  • A remote control that fast forwards in real life – This would come in TERRIBLE handy for situations such as getting ready, doing housework, even working out! This would be a dream.

  • A remote control that teleports us instantly – Ok, we’re getting a little out of control here, but seriously, how has teleportation not been invented yet? We would mostly use this for getting ready for bed. From couch… to bed.

  • A remote control that finds all the other remote controls – Why can’t we ever find them? It’s a mystery.
