Superman shows the rest of the Superfriends a balloon with a miniaturized remote control.[1]
A remote control was a type of technology that allowed a person to operate a machine using a radio transmitted signal.
For example, such a device made it possible to turn on a television set without having to leave one's own chair to turn the power on. It could similarly be used to increase or decrease the TV's volume, as well as changing the channel to a different TV station. Even some toy cars that were were capable of being operated by remote control.
Some remote control devices were also used to open garage doors. Marvin White's father had a remote capable of doing that.[2]
