The Laws of Home Electronics

1. Four out of four cords saved in your junk drawer will not fit the electronic widget you need tie into your home entertainment center.

2. For every two remotes used in a home, a third, “mysterious” remote must be somewhere collecting dust.

3. Volume that goes up does not necessarily come back down.

4. Electronic devices that require programming are “adult-proof” in design.

5. Ten out of ten batteries in your junk drawer will not fit the electronic widget you need a battery for.
