Do You Love Robots? I Do.
I love my robo-vacuum. His name is Snow.
He is brilliant, in fact so brilliant that I decided to give it a name.
His name is Snow.
Snow is white in colour and is fully automated to do what he is tasked to do without any whims.
He gets to work at the tap of my finger and while slightly noisier than other household appliances and equipment — I love him dearly.
Why so?
That is because he shares my household burden.
Technically speaking, he takes work away from me.
I love to work, just not housework.
In that sense, I am irresponsible I admit.
But we all have a different perspective on the utility of our time.
We want to spend our time on things that matter, isn’t it?
For me, that is not housework.
As much as I could, I would much prefer to catch up on financial news, deal papers and my pile of unread books.
Even freeing up time for a walk in the park is brilliant.
As such, I am always upset when I am tasked to vacuum the house.
At this point, I have to declare that I am a guy and this story is articulated through the my lens.
Truthfully, I think ladies probably think so too?
I have never seen my mum happy while vacuuming.
In fact, she grunts as she drags the huge vacuum cleaner around, contributing to the overbearing decibel assault.
Snow is different.
He doesn’t need me to drag him around.
In fact, he is an explorer with great memories.
He knows how the kitchen, the living room looks like.
He has higher order intelligence too.
When he senses a physical object, he slows down, avoid, and make a turn.
I watch him with amusement.
I am ultimately impressed by his relentless positive attitude towards his work.
He will continue to do his job whether he has a bad day (I don’t know if he does, I assume of course!) or when his stomach is filled with dust and dirt.
I am happy with Snow and he deserves an outstanding performance appraisal.
The only time when I am not that happy with him?
When I have to clean his parts.
I guess … that is normal.
Even dog-owners who love their dogs don’t necessarily enjoy picking up their poop.
Right?
