Apparently we will still be washing our dishes (or at least loading and unloading our dishwashing machines); taking out our trash; and washing, drying, folding, and putting away our laundry. Since no later than The Jetsons we've known that the elimination of these low-value tasks is essential to human liberation and productivity, yet here we are with no relief in sight. Sure, washing machines have helped, and community trash-removal takes care of a big chunk of the problem. But a few minutes per day or week add up quickly over time, and the very fact that we have to even think about these things creates substantial mental drag.
