Personally, I would like to have a remote with a "Mute" button for those who I have had enough of, for example:

It would be great for:

Mother-in-laws who follow you around the house yapping away incessantly about nothing!

Bullshitters...how much of this do we REALLY have to hear?

Barking dogs

Crowing roosters (damn sun has been up for HOURS and he is STILL crowing!)

Chronic liars

Those who are full of themselves

And hey, for myself, a mute for my husband when I am learning a new fiddle tune (poor man....poor, poor man!!!!!)

While we are talking about gadgets we can use, how about something that goes around the yard and picks up all the brush that you have cut and stacks it neatly in the garbage or back field?

Radar for intruding hunters on your land (yeah...signs and fences apparently mean nothing in this area)

A giant zapper gun to use on folks who throw trash out their car windows.

Oh my, I could go on and on but I have work to do....how about a product to take care of THAT? Hmmm?
