Come home from doing what? Robots are going to replace hundreds of millions of jobs this century, potentially. And please don't say something like "everyone will be innovators!" Most people are flatly incapable of that sort of thing, nor is there enough demand for it to keep the masses employed. What I see are more and more people unemployable, sidelined, and on the dole. We'll need to start population reduction otherwise, and how is that for consumerism? Consumerism is a dead end. Depends on perpetual growth, which is impossible. At least if we're constrained by one planet. Ideally, and of course I'm not saying its going to happen voluntarily, we'll wind up in position where we balance global population against resource availability in an effort to get close to something sustainable.

And the cost of the housing is the issue, not the size of it. I'm talking about spending less money in order to allow one partner time to avoid all the convenience stuff that is making us fat and sedentary. I'm talking about your average blue collar working class types, not the people who can afford technology they might have seen on the Jetsons. <--That's a turn of phrase, I don't doubt they're trying to come up with cooking robots, so we can sit around on our asses even more.

I wouldn't have a cooking robot. I like cooking too much. Same thing with driving. I will be partly responsible for keeping J.A. Henckel's and GM's robots employed.
