This reminds me of a film from 1960, &quot;The Home Of The Future: Year 1999 A.D.&quot; [1], where even more household chores are automated (for example, meals are delivered and stored frozen, and take only seconds to heat up).<p>However, for some reason, the wife still stays at home (and goes shopping) while the husband works and pays the bills. This made me think that the only development which is harder to predict than technological progress, is sociocultural progress.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=0RRxqg4G-G4" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=0RRxqg4G-G4</a>
