Many times generally peoples are in a situation where they are sitting at home; reclining on comfortable chair, watching TV only to realize that their favorite show is about to start, but it's on a different channel? A sudden sense of urgency propels them to frantically search the two and a half foot radius that is within arm's reach to find their remote. After a few moments of searching to no avail, they see the remote control sitting on the coffee table across from them. Alas, they must give up and miss their show.
