Always hear the mention that one spends on average 1/3 of ther lives sleeping. That is probably true for most people and who can complain given how nice it is to just vegetate in front of the TV or reading a good book and drift off.
On the other hand, how often do they calculate the percentage of time we spend doing true drugery – administrative things outside of work just to keep that part of our lives under control , keep out of jail (paying taxes) , licenses and registrations of all types, calling customer support for the myriad of reasons that must be done?

I think it would be depressing to really know. I just finished filing my taxes and though admittedly I use the electronic completion and filing , just the thought of having to even spend a minute on it is taxing to say the least.

The bottomline is we need robots , real robots of the type Issac Asimov wrote about in his Robot Series that take care of normal housework , intercede on our behalf with other robots that manage the bureacracy of paperwork and administrative stuff that consumes so much of normal day to day life.
We need the web to help , less social networks where I can tell useless frivolity like “where I am for lunch”, or “where I am at any moment in time” and instead web bots that are our personal assistants in the virtual world , paying bills, calculating taxes, interacting with Customer Service manned by ther bots for all of my needs that don’t require true human interaction which are the majority of them.

If all the time spent on all these social networks by smart developers was instead spent on building out the robot web, we would have more time for the things that matter which is subjective but can be as simple as just sitting around doing nothing and feeling like there is nothing administrative that I have to do at the moment.

Maybe I should help define and build the Robot Web!
