23 Innovative Remote Controls

From Magic Wands for Grownups to Coffee Table Remotes

— November 24, 2009 — Tech
I predict (not very original, I know) that everything will one day be remote-controlled. I further this claim by (safely) stating that eventually only one universal remote will be needed. Until that time, here are some innovative remote controls that have been featured on Trend Hunter.

Although the traditional remote may not be the most practically designed device, these innovative remote controls hope to rectify that problem.
