Eugene Polley, inventor of the Zenith Flash-Matic - the World's first television remote control, has died aged 96. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-18164200 RIP Eugene. Thanks for inventing a device that has spawned generations of lazy gits!
I have no idea who he is but he was the farther of something EVERYONE has used in modern life. 96 though, a very good age.
