In that case, I've also automated flying my own commercial airliner. I just pay someone $400 and I'm automatically flown anywhere in the continental US! Also, I automated bread baking. I just go to the supermarket and go to the bread aisle, and hey presto! Automatic bread.
- richardknop 9y agoI see your point. Now that I think about it laundry was a bad example of automation. But to me it feels like automation as I used to do it all myself manually. The amount of time I saved still surprises me. Especially ironing.
- torinmr 9y agoI empathize with that feeling! I recently "automated" washing dishes by upgrading to an apartment with a dishwasher, and it's an amazing quality of life improvement!

- tarboreus 9y agoWell, I agree that it's convenient. I do this for my work shirts and wash everything else because I'm cheap. But not automation, unless you consider Roman eunuchs to be automated child care.
- richardknop 9y agoTo be fair I’d imagine that bread making is quite automated these days. There’s a lot of machinery involved and much less people than few decades ago.
