Mute button was best invention

 

I have a list. Mine is, "The Greatest Inventions of the Century" -- the ones that changed our lives so we'll never be the same.The first is the mute button on the TV remote, created so mankind would no longer have to listen to commercials.

 

The mute button was invented by Forest Mute in his garage in Hackensack, N.J. Mute was looking for a method of bypassing Howard Stern on the air when he accidentally deadened the sound on his set. When he could do the same on color TV, he knew he was a success.

 

 

I agree on this matter and every time I hear a commercial I have heard I mute it and modify it to include mute button on it.
