In this case technology really is driving a social change. Even 10 years ago my dudely apartment would not have been anywhere near this clean. You can eat off my hardwood right now.
I agree. I often saw these cleaning bots as decadency or superfluous gadgets, but since I've gotten one I have changed my opinion of them. They clean good, consistently, and on schedule. My living room -- the place my bot lives in -- is spotless. The other rooms I clean them once a week by placing the bot in one of the rooms to clean while I tidy and wash another room. It takes less time, it is less boring, and my house is cleaner than ever. And as a bonus, my allergies are less problematic to boot.
