   He said, "Boy, new TVs are so cool. Now we can stream Internet movies directly to our TVs. And next year, remotes will be obsolete 1. TVs will have voice control. We'll just say 'TV on' and 'TV off.' We won't have to push buttons anymore. We're definitely 2 getting a new TV next year." She said, "Great. You'll never have to dig through the sofa for the remote again. Will our new TV have automatic 3 volume control?" He said, "Of course not. No TV nowadays has automatic volume control. The networks and advertisers don't like it. They want their commercials to be twice as loud as the program.

She said, "No, 'progress' is AVC—like we had 30 years ago!"
