Few things have evolved more then the remote control and its buttons, Indeed! In the beginning there were only two dials, and they were on the TV itself, in a type of symbiotic relationship. However, the dials were not content to remain the only of their species! Thus They reproduced and as they did new species emerged! From the Tuning species and The Volume Species came sleeker smarter offspring, like a channel button.

However! All was not well, Space was becoming limited for big bulky dials, thus they evolved, and became smaller, buttons. At this point something interesting happened, these methods of control formed two tribes, the older tribe, staying on the TV and maintaining the parasite/host relationship they had for years, others, braved the wilds and moved on to the remote control.

From this point Even more offspring were produced, the young, now separated from the older generation and their customs the new buttons sprung up like rabbits, odd features that no one had ever thought would occur became reality things like subtitles, sleeps, channel jumps, all were new.

But again the same problem that had haunted their ancestors came for them, space was running out, from there all hope seemed lost for the remote and its buttons, until the advent of the touch screen, from there as many buttons could fit on a remote as the remote would allow, from there it seems as though the evolution of the remote and its buttons has stalled, having been faced with no new threats.
