I too get up to change the volume on the tv every time, why is there this redudant control hardware shipped with every television? So wasteful! /s Snark aside, the illision of leisure/luxury/laziness is often valued as the real thing, effective or not. Could an app for your already omnipresent phone do this? Sure, but this is a sleek tactile button, no apps to futz with. I wouldn't buy one, but I get the appeal.

What do we want? Change. When do we want it? As soon as we can be convinced we need it. The next evolution will be "you know the integrated home is great, but everyone's wifi still goes out every once in a while. wouldn't it be great if we could make that more robust with CAT5? What if we could do ethernet over your existing electical wiring? Then we could do Lights over Voice over IP over ethernet over AC. The best part is, we soft launched at hardware stores about 100 years ago". Welcome to the future!!!!!!
