One way to picture remote control: you stay where you are, and your order travels for you. The machine is over there; your hand stays here. Everything the word covers is that gap being crossed — the little box that sends the order, the whole way of working a machine at a distance, and the software that reaches a computer in another building.
remote control 可以想成一個畫面：人留在原地，命令自己飛過去。機器在那一頭，你的手在這一頭，中間隔著一段距離。這個字的每個意思，都是在講這段距離怎麼被跨過去。有時候重點在你手上那個發出命令的小盒子，有時候重點在「隔空操作」這整套做法，有時候那一頭不是電視，而是另一棟樓裡的一台電腦。
