2. Remote controls
Remote controls seemed like an absolute luxury back in the 1970s and 1980s, when the devices first started to flourish. But now, cable and streaming video systems offer smartphone apps that do everything from changing the channel to turning on captions and cranking up the volume.
And, unlike the cumbersome remote that always seems to be lodged between the couch cushions, an app is always just as close as your smartphone.
While we’re on the subject, traditional TV is also getting gobbled up by competing programs on streaming services.
