> Are there similar improvements in household appliances like irons? Some examples that I know of: - modern robot vacuums, that can mop, use LIDAR etc. We have a pretty decent one, it works OK, but we still have to vacuum by ourselves every 2 weeks or so. - battery operated vacuums, irons, hair dryers etc. - smart homes -- automaticcally setting heat, window blinds - tons of gimmicky stuff like smart fridges, or water taps with touch screens. But I'd consider these just some quality of life improvements, not major time savers like washing things by hand vs a washing machine. IMO the next big thing will be household 3D printers when someone finds out how to make them safe and reliable for everyday use by non-technical people.
