Increase the volume when you start eating chips.

It is 2018. Why isn't this already a thing and why is nobody talking about that?

Shock your siblings when they try to steal the remote.

Touch my remote ONE. MORE. TIME.

Refrains from passive aggressively asking, "are you still watching," when you so obviously are.

Maybe a different approach would be more effective. "I'm not judging you Allyson, but are you still watching? You're right, dumb question." *continues to play the Netflix show I was binging*

Automatically pauses when the oven timer for your pizza goes off.

What's a good movie marathon without pizza?

Pauses the movie/show you are watching if you accidentally fall asleep.

No longer are the days you have to rewind all the way back to what you last remember.

Records nostalgic TV shows/movies you watched as a kid.

The recording possibilities are endless. SpongeBob, Fresh Prince, Rugrats, Full House, Powerpuff Girls...

Automatically turns down the volume when you are trying to overhear a conversation in the next room.

You can't tell me you haven't manually done this before. Imagine your TV doing it FOR you.

The TV may be smart enough to remind you not to be late, but that doesn't mean you still have to be on time.

Tells you where the remote is when you lose it.

"You're sitting on it." Wow. Thanks, Smart TV! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
