Ending Laziness With Singularity Technology
Actually, the headline should be: ending the guilt about laziness with singularity technology, but, shew-wee, that’s a lot of words.
Let me explain something.
I am a lawn hacker. I enjoy cool spring mornings adding treatments to my lawn so it will be full and green. I enjoy cutting the lawn in June, when it’s just touching the 80-degree mark where I live. (I even enjoy mowing during the fall, but that messes with the chronology of my story.)
Then comes July and August, with 90-plus-degree days and air so muggy it’s like mowing your lawn in a bowl of soup.
Well, if my assessment of the Singularity is right, I will team up with technology to cut the grass when I want to. Thanks to this little baby–a solar-powered robot lawnmower–that day is getting closer. I know some kids who make their date money mowing lawns , but this Roomba unit uses a buried line that you install as a guide and cuts all the grass in between. It can even cut it to your length preference.
It’s a little pricey. If my pound-to-dollar estimates are right… about $4,000. But advancing technology is making goods cheaper all the time.
Now, if Roomba can just make a solar-powered robot leaf raker, I am all set!
is one of my favorite financial books of all time. It's an allegory about a guy who has a terrible job, and how he overcomes challenges to achieve his dreams.
