The future of the television and computer seem to be intertwined which is what makes the 'Baand Remote Control' such a timely design. Created by Kristian Ulrich Larsen, the Baand Remote Control is designed specifically for use with Internet-accessible TVs.
The remote works more or less like a scroll-wheel letting you flip through channels and apps at ease. The remote also features a number pad and full QWERTY keyboard, features which will make it virtually unnecessary to ever leave the couch again. Internet televisions have not exploded in the way that people thought they would, but it should only be a matter of time before the flat-screen in your living room can also be used to check Facebook. When that time comes there is a good chance that you will be updating your status using the Baand Remote Control.
