I wonder how we can hope to make nanofactories, when we don't even have a robot arm that can fold my laundry for me.
- pootzen 11y agoLaundroid claims to do just that: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/japan/11922590/Worlds-first-laundry-folding-robot-unveiled-in-Japan.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/japan/1192259...
- TeMPOraL 11y agoWe had such arms for decades already. Just because nobody bothered to make a laundry folding product out of them doesn't mean we can't do it with a robot arm. For better or worse, many (if not most) interesting projects aren't viable as business products.

You see: poor people are accustomed to doing these chores by themselves, while the rich can always use their paper money to hire naturally occurring biological robots.
