Cycles

When I was a child, we had a box on top of the TV. This wonderful device allowed the TV to controlled using a remove control instead of by turning the knob. As time went by, that TV retired, and the new TV had it's own built-in remote, and the days of having a box on top of the TV were over! Now, many years later, as things become digital, it turns out once more we are required to have a stupid little box sitting on top of the TV once again.
