We were looking at aircon units as the one in our daughter's room conked out. We tried to have it repaired but unfortunately the model was already phased out and there were no spare parts available for it to be fixed. At the appliance store, I spotted the latest models of washing machines. Apparently, you can now operate or run a washing machine through your smart phone. Of course, you will have to first load it or have someone load it and then activate and operate it remotely. Afterwards, you can also have someone remove the washed clothes from it. I thought perhaps this would be okay for parents who's children aren't yet adept to operating machines like this but can already be tasked to load and unload the laundry.

| The future of household chores? |
While there's that proof of concept for smart homes, I think most chores would still be far away from being done remotely. Perhaps robots and AI should be involved somehow? While that's tempting and something I'm sure certain people will be working on, there's nothing like doing these chores by yourself. Call me conservative but these chores are also life skills and if you think about it also helps you burn calories. So yes, it helps us be active rather than sedentary.
