This afternoon, when the pump at my local gas station asked aloud if I'd like a car wash, I felt the uneasiness that accompanies casual conversation with an inanimate object. These sorts of interactions make me worry that as technology becomes increasingly pervasive, it will also become more annoying. Like the motion-sensing trash can in my apartment in Shanghai. Whenever anybody would walk anywhere near this Ritalin-kid of rubbish bins, its lid would whoosh open like some Space Age detritus-starved garbage droid. Though initially somewhat cute, it quickly became little more than a nagging reminder of the unfulfilled promises made by Bill Gates, Buckminster Fuller and the Jetsons. Where is my flying car? My geodesic dome? My robot maid?
Fortunately, Roomba, the disc-shaped automatic vacuum cleaner that skitters across America's carpetry with nearly zero human intervention, fulfills that last desire. And technology trudges forward, Woomba, the product in this mock advertisement, offers a bit of cleaning for the ladies, as well. n°
