Robert Adler, who co-invented the device that made the couch potato possible, died Thursday at 93.
Adler was a prolific inventor, earning more than 180 U.S. patents. He was best known for his 1956 Zenith Space Command remote control, which helped make TV a truly sedentary pastime.
Few people today would imagine that that remote was ultrasound,
and did not need batteries to operate.
