Robert Adler

Robert Adler

            Robert Adler (1913-2007)  was famous for inventing the television remote. Strangely Adler did not feel bad for inventing the worlds most laziest device. Adler used ultrasound and high-frequency sounds that barely any human can hear but it was also like a dog whistle to a dog. Dogs are the only thing that could hear it.
He was Austrian- American inventor who held 180 patents. He got his education from 
University of Vienna. He even got a the Edison Medal in 1980, he fielded in physics and he had worked at Zenith Electronics .He was fluent in German,English, and French but mainly because he was a world traveler.He exercised a lot because he did downhill skiing until he was 89, but he still hiked after that.He was married to a girl named Ingrid Koch Adler.
