If robotics automate you out of a job, how can you afford to buy your own to automate your life? Instead, we get cheap "help" via Amazon Echo which can spy on your every move (even video is debuting soon), and people embrace it like it was a free copy of "1984." I just visited a friend using one, and she turned and barked at her spy machine to turn down her music which emanated from the pathetic speaker it contains. That is a serious savings of time and effort versus the "old days" like in my life where I either pick up a remote and press "pause," or the really old days (think Laura Ingalls Wilder or even further back) when I had to walk three steps and lift my arm (either would do, but it worked best with my right arm) and grasp a knob with my fingers (it took quite a bit of training to know WHICH knob) and rotate counter clockwise for a split second, decreasing the volume on my high quality high fidelity system with awesome Polk speakers because I give a crap about music quality (all 'flac' files from a media server). I mean, I could have fit another yawn into my life had I just yelled at Amazon to turn down the effin' music. Anyway... lord hep us.
