Journal / Best Invention Of Last 50 Years?

possibly the best invention of the last 50 years…
a remote control device that can turn off almost any tv.
so now when you’re(or i’m)sitting in an:
airport
dentist office
waiting room
etc
and you want to turn off the tv you just press this little button and the tv goes from loud-invasive-and-annoying to gloriously-off.
fantastic.
the person who invented this deserves to be sainted.
