Our next-door neighbor had one of the original Clappers and I distinctly remember the dad cursing whenever he would be channel surfing and accidentally turn to a show filmed before a live audience (like the Arsenio Hall Show) because the applause from the audience would occasionally trigger the clapper and turn the lights off in the living room.

As a climber that word has a very different meaning to me.

A reminder that its better to live to climb another route than test the limits of what's possible.

Many years ago when I worked on the Triggertrap camera trigger we'd set up a "scream booth" at events, using the sound trigger. It was a great way of getting attention, and generating content that people want to share. https://www.diyphotography.net/how-build-scream-triggered-ph...

I am imagining putting this in my toddlers bedroom and how much delight he would derive from and how much chaos would ensue.

Braun had an alarm clock in the 90s that you could control with your voice. They called it "voice contol" and the commercial is hilariously similar to your video:

It's like when my Leviton ODSMT-MDW in-wall motion sensor with microphone tunes out shower noise.
