When Adults Act Like Children…

it can be hilarious, or it can be pathetic. Today, at the CES conference, it was a little of both.
The Gizmodo bloggers got their hands on some TV-B- Gone remotes, and used their power for the Dark Side, switching off TV screens all over the place.
Some people thought that the video was funny, but I could only think of three things:
1. Such a small thing can bring stuff crashing to a halt (covering up the IR receiver on the TVs would have prevented it, I'm sure presenters considered it a lesson learned for the future).
2. Bloggers have enough of a problem being considered 'real' journalists, this lack of professionalism didn't help.
3. Good luck getting credentials to other conferences!!
