Tim Davies uses a robot lawnmower that cuts his grass all summer without his help, then tells him when to put it away for winter. It freed up his weekends from routine chores so he can actually enjoy the garden instead.
I really like having a nicely kept short lawn in the garden in the summer, but I didn't like asking my son to mow the lawn on a regular basis. So I got a robot lawnmower and now I've got that nicely kept lawn and it looks after itself. Yeah. And the lawnmower tells me at the end of the season, can you put me out in, can you put me in the dry now? It's getting too cold and wet outside. But that has allowed me to enjoy the garden more because the time when I would've spent in the garden at the weekend, I'm then not forced to do a list of jobs. Mm-hmm. So I think that almost symbiotic relationship we have with technology means we can get more done for personal reward.
