* People will spend
less time for their housework in twenty years.
Many people expect that they
might need less time for cooking or preparing food in twenty years. As we are
experiencing at this moment, the world is changing in very impressive rates;
and, companies are coining various kinds of housewares to give convenience for
housework. Nevertheless, I do not agree with the idea that those will save our housework
time in twenty years because of the two reasons.
Firstly, the statistics shows
that it does not help in saving time for housework. According to the
scientists, the advances in housewares such as vacuum machines or washing
machines have no benefits to save our time; rather it increases the overall
time for housework in recent decades. This astounding result is caused by
several reasons: as they were able to save their time, people were looking for
the better results in their housework and did more works which were in other
expert’s territory. For example, if you were washing clothes twenty years ago,
you might not need to use wool washing shampoo. Plus, you would not try to do
it by yourself but might give them to a cleaning house. For this reason, even
though the time for a single task among the housework was decreased, the overall
time for those was not decreased.
Secondly, I believe most of
the epoch-making innovations were already been made. In other words, there is
no room for saving more time in our house works. For example, even the company
made a new version of the vacuum machine; it sucks dusts better but nothing.
Likewise, I expect that most of the new machines in next decades would not be
able to create new paradigms but improve its performance or design.
In summary, I think people
are less likely to save their time for their housework in the future. Not only
because there are little chance to make a new innovation in housewares but also
because history shows that it does not useful for saving our time.
