What effect has technology had on housework?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technology has made housework different by introducing time-saving devices such as washing machines, dishwashers, and vacuum cleaners. However, it has not necessarily reduced the amount of housework that needs to be done, as new technologies also bring new cleaning challenges (e.g. electronic devices that need dusting, more complex washing machines requiring extra maintenance) and some tasks cannot be automated (e.g. cooking, organizing).
