I hope in the future we don't have to clean so many things (beehaw.org)

I know a lot of people have big dreams for the future but personally I just wish we get more things that are self-cleaning. Imagine not having to make the bed. Imagine clothes that you only need to clean once a month. I hate that so much of adult life is spent cleaning over and over again, and that even when you deep clean you know you're gonna have to do it all again.

It sound so childish but I feel like I'd have so much more free time

I totally get you! I really wish this too. It is actually slowly happening over time already in my opinion, with washing machines, dishwashers, vacuum cleaners etc being invented and made better (like roombas that do vacuuming themselves). Wish we could spend up that process a bit. However: you don't need to make the bed to stay clean out hygienic. It's actually better you leave it messy to air out! So, good news?

ACKSHUALLY dishwashers haven't changed much since they were invented.. I feel the same can be said about any other home appliance, but I don't know. Just a feeling.

I did mean the fact that we have those appliances, incl. Dishwashers now compared to before they were invented. Especially the invention of the washing machine and it's spread lifted so much work of (mostly women's) shoulders.its amazing.
