I saw some research once that the hours women spend doing housework hasn't changed. I think because human nature, not anything to do with the tech.

That's nonsense. It used to take women a full workday per week just to wash clothes.

Well, now we can own more clothes! And we can wash them more often! And rather than specialist washerwomen, everyone can/must use the laundry-room robots!

I've done some 3rd world travel without washing machines for a while and my laundry was once a week dunk stuff in the sink for 5 minutes with shampoo + rinse water, wring and hang up. I don't buy the whole day being necessary thing.
