Motion made to free us from physical exertion

There’s all that effort and breathing and annoying stuff.

And if you do too much of it, eww, perspiration. Moving around is so last millennium.

Multimedia

Fortunately, technology has provided solutions to that kind of drudgery that, judging from the discovery of fossilized hand tools, has bugged personkind through several millenia.

Thanks to machines such as the Segway, the electric scooter and the backhoe, we modern people hardly have to walk or pedal or even pick up things that aren’t fork-shaped and covered with pasta primavera.

With computers, we have only to move our fingers to do our shopping, send mail and conduct business.

With Wi-Fi and wireless, we don’t even have to leave the couch to get to a computer. That works out well because the couch is where the universal remote is for the HDTV that looks so real we don’t have to actually go to a golf course or arena to feel like we’re at a golf course or arena.

Leave the vacuuming to the Roomba, the mowing to the Lawnbot and the cooking to Domino’s, which fortunately delivers.
