It's a known thing that people's laziness is the main generator of progress! So many inventions are due to the fact that people have no time and desire to do something 'elementary'. Remote control is one of the greatest inventions resulting from human laziness and desire to control everything within range.

Lantic Systems Delivers has combined two of the peoples tendencies – tendency to control and tendency to luxury – by creating the Most Expensive Remote Control in the World. This Danish hi-tech manufacturer specializes in developing individual subsystems covering entertainment, surveillance, lighting and electronics control. Lantic Systems presented the Gold RC1 Remote Control at The Worlds Biggest Marine Equipment Trade Show at METS 2007 in Amsterdam, Holland.

So they designed a remote control in pure gold which is supposed to be of a great 'entertainment' to people! I doubt it deeply knowing that it can be purchased on the market at a price of $ 55.000. Compare it to a standard remote control retailing from about $ 1050! Maybe some people can afford it, in case we speak of Bill Gates,Warren Buffett, Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud, and several other rich men on the planet.

One of the Lantic Systems mottoes is "Quality that suits your style of living"! I must say that though the Golden Remote Control might be a really qualitative piece, its design doesn't seam to surprise. The design is pretty simple: sleek round form, metallic finish and familiar buttons. It offers control over TV/Video/DVD, Music/CD, Internet, E-mail, CCTV, burglary alarm, air-conditioning, lights, curtains, and surveillance of navigation systems, etc.

For the ones interested Lantic Systems already delivers the Gold Remote Control starting with December 2007. Let me tell you that the first orders have already been received.
