They’re getting really good. In a few years no one will be hand vacuuming anymore.
replySatire, I assume.
replyOur house has three carpeted steps between levels. Is there a Roomba that can clean those steps whilst cleaning the rooms on each of the levels? Or do I need one per step and the levels?
a) I’m not lazy enough to buy a Roomba. If I was, I definitely would be too lazy to nanny it around the house, lifting it up the three steps. b) When I am feeling lazy I hire a cleaner, who uses their own hand vacuum cleaner.
Yes, I'm being facetious. I do wonder how far the analogy goes; is your willingness to apply effort a virtue that will atrophy? Will the satisfaction of applying yourself wane? Will the very real challenges to robot vacuuming (the steps) just be ignored long term, with the resulting loss of quality, or will we simply accept the new higher costs of cleaning floors? Will this all feel like a boon to productivity, or will the atrophied willingness to apply oneself cloud our judgement?
replyTime will tell.
