@ Read the following passage and answer the questions below:
After a long day at work or school, many of us come home, jump on the
sofa and reach for the remote control, For today’s generation it is normal not to
have to stand up to change channels on the television or to turn on the music.
This is, however, a relatively recent invention. It was not until 1950 that the
first commercial television remote control was created. The Zenith Radio
Corporation called it the ‘Lazy Bone’. In those days, however, the Lazy Bone
was not wireless; it was attached to the television by a long cable. This was
seen as a danger, as people kept tripping and falling over it. Just five years
later, in 1955, the first wireless TV remote control was created by Eugene
Polley and this soon became very popular indeed, Opinions are divided as to
whether this invention is necessarily a good thing many believe we have
created a generation of couch potatoes - people who are too lazy to move from
the sofa.

l. According to the passage above, what is the bad effect of TV remote
control?
……………………………………………………………….
2. What was the first commercial television remote control called?
