What If My Maid Was a Robot

 



The day is not far where your daily chores are going to be done by a robot. We are already exposed to new technologies that are helping us to clean our house, many modern houses are already using robot mop and vacuum, It’s not that efficient and advanced and not as good as human done, but that day isn’t far that it will tick all our cleaning expectations.

Wouldn’t it be great to see our mundane chores being done by a robot efficiently without a worry.

Indian household have constant worries of maid being on leaves, inconsistency in work, and frequent replacement due to inefficiency, hence it will be a great boon to have your house chores like sweeping, mopping, laundry, etc. being done by a robot, which doesn’t complain, always on time, consistent and, efficient.

Wouldn’t it be great to wake up to see your bed being done while you are freshening up, and you have a robot helper to help you with the breakfast and while you eat it and the robot is busy mopping, folding your laundry, and doing the dishes, and all your work Is done in time peacefully before you head out for work or sit in your desk to work.

Upon asking a few people about having a robot maid they had a similar responses consolidated below:

-          Oh that would be so great, I would not have to wait for the maid and stay back at home while she finishes the chores, I could use this time to work instead, as I won’t have to worry about house chores and of course easily trust the robot. This means many women who are at home because of house chores, or have to stay as they have to manage house staff, can head out without a worry and start taking jobs outside and this could increase in working women.

Having a robot maid surely has a lot of advantages and could be a boon to Indian households, but as I was writing about this a few cons popped in my head related to health and lifestyles.

-          - We are already glued to the screens whether at leisure or working, we are all compelled to use screens to do any kind of task these days, with a robot maid being a part of our regular lives, we might get more prone to diseases as it would even more limit physical movement.

-          - We would lose life skills as a human. We would not know to do basic human tasks to survive. It would increase massive dependency on robots.

Although there are several advantages of the robot technology being a part of daily human lives, we can’t ignore the drawbacks that could hamper our lives. This could be a big downfall if this technology is not used wisely and sensibly.

  Witnessing a Cluster of Temples After Climbing 3,500 Steps A hike that is both rejuvenating and a feast for the eyes, as one ascends the holy mountain. Every breath feels fresh and soothing to the soul. The Palitana Temples are the abode of Lord Adinatha, the first Tirthankara according to Jain scriptures. These temples have existed since the 11th century and have a history of construction and restoration spanning about 900 years. Kumarpal Solanki, a Jain patron, was the first person to build a temple on the Shatrunjay Hill. This is one of the most important and holiest pilgrimage sites for Jains. A Place of Soul Purification. A Place of Peace. A Place of Hope. Interesting Facts: The main idol of Lord Adinatha was believed to have breathed seven times after its installation in 1006 AD.  The holy hill of Palitana is believed to be an abode only for divine souls, and therefore, no one is allowed to stay overnight, including the priests. A Sufi Pir, Angaarsha, the Sav...

The Art of Letting Go

Image
  Why do we have to let go? We need to let go of old materialistic stuff to make space for the new. We need to let go of old unhealthy habits to have a healthier life. We need to let go of unpleasant thoughts for a beautiful mind. We need to let go of people who don’t add value to our lives in order to move ahead to a fresh chapter. We need to let go of our loved ones to let them explore their lives. We need to let go of fear to experience fearlessness. It doesn’t happen in a day, of course. It is a process—a gradual journey toward the outcome. Why is it hard to let go? We have memories and attachments. A few are worth keeping until the end of our lives, but many aren’t—and they’re better to let go of. For example : I can never let go of the jewelry given to me by my mom, but keeping an accessory from an old lover will hold me back, making it tough to move on. We are accustomed to habits ...

People of Today, Lifestyle of Yesterday!

People of this era are somewhat drawn towards the methods, culture, and lifestyle of the past. Why is that? Is it because we all feel that people in the past were more sensible? They believed in efficiency and sustainability, and their lives revolved around these concepts? Here are a few things that made me feel like we—the people of this era—are in love with the past: We are moving more towards living sustainably. The love for organic items in the market has boomed to such an extent that people don't mind paying a few extra bucks to ensure they’re consuming naturally grown or produced products. We want to start eating the way our ancestors once ate—we’re slowly adopting new ways of cooking and eating, based on old traditions. The demand for earthenware has increased—they're back with a bang! People have switched back to using oils they had once given up, choosing traditionally used oils over the more commercially marketed ones—for example, switching back to groundnut oil ...
