Another Major invention which Dr Adler is less famous for is the Touch Screen which he also pioneered.
Commonly used today at kiosks at Airports,Train Stations,libraries ect.
So he has given us a lot more than just the remote control.
One amazing man who's inventions changed the world and how we live today!
My hat goes off to you Dr Adler a true genius and legend! ...The world needs more people like him!
