Combines survey measurements with recorded observations of viewing behaviour, experimental studies of remote control use, and historical and critical analyses. Examples include: gender differences in its use; and family communication and parental control of the device. Review: ?The evolution of this small device as an interface of the technology that produced cable TV and the VCR is well presented, as are the statistics verifying its rapid and complete penetration into American TV households.
The final three chapters, whose authors thoughtfully analyze the role of the remote in the larger of the political economics of the TV industry, along with Americans' infatuation with technology, and television's ability to confound fiction and reality, are provocative and indicative of where we should look for effects.?-Choice
