I am a PhD student in the Department of Science and Technology Studies at Cornell University in New York, USA. My research is concerned with the many and varied relationships between consumer electronics products and users, and one of the products I am studying is the Philips Pronto universal remote.

I would like to hear from people who have chosen universal remote controls other than the Pronto.

Please e-mail me directly with your responses.

My questions are:
Who are you? (some details such as gender, age, a bit about your background, your interest in technology, your experience with remote controls and home entertainment systems, and anything else you want to tell me)

What remote control are you using and why did you chose it?

What are you using the remote control for?

Did you consider buying the Pronto? Why did you choose not to?

What kinds of people and uses do you think the Pronto is suitable for?

What kinds of people and uses do you think the Pronto is not suitable for?

Thanks for your participation in this research.
