People keep developing automation I do not want, and neglecting the automation I do want.

I don't want something to cook my meals. I want to mess up the kitchen and have something clean up the mess so I can mess it up again.

I don't want a disembodied voice to turn on/off my lights, or put milk on my grocery list, or even find me a snazzy TV program. I want something to clean my bathroom, and do my vacuuming.

Yes. Yes yes yes.

Reluctantly I must admit that I have too much clutter for my things to experience the sluice and drain method - but I like it a lot. I especially love the no-carpets-anywhere approach.

I had to give up on carpets when I got cats. And all the free-standing ornaments went into display cabinets. So there was a net increase in order.
