Grandma Learns the New Television Remote

Grandma’s new television remote had fifty buttons.

Her grandson showed her the power, volume and channel controls.

She pressed one button and the screen went dark.

He asked which button she had touched….

The remote had buttons for films, music, subtitles, apps and services Grandma had never requested.

Her grandson Ben explained each row.

Grandma asked why the remote needed four colored buttons with no words.

Ben said nobody really knew.

He showed her the microphone button. She could ask the television for any program.

Grandma held it close and said, Find something worth watching.

The screen displayed hundreds of choices.

She sighed and pressed another button. Everything went black.

Ben asked what she had pressed.

Grandma handed him the remote.

The only recommendation button that works.
