First of all, the mute button is not relevant to anything discussed in the thread so far. Your post sounds ESL, so you might have misunderstood. Second, even if it were relevant, many kids grew up in the 1980s with their only remote being a non-universal cable remote which didn't directly control their television and had no mute button. Cable wasn't even offered in my town until the late '80s. If I wanted to change the channel or the volume, I had to get up and go over to the television itself.
