My fascination for manufacturing processes has led me down a rabbit hole in automation. There is just something intriguing about a machine assisting a human to manufacture a product.
Automation is rife in today's world, life is busy and we are all scrambling for time. We all could do with one of these robotic like machines to improve our lives. Life is filled with mundane tasks, tasks that is better suited for things like a robot. Without any hesitance, they are hard at work, doing what it's human counterpart programmed it to do.
Having my robot buddy do all the house chores, such as purchasing our groceries, doing our laundry and even making our dinner has surely left me and my other half with more free time to focus on other things that can add even more value in our life. We now have the time to focus more on important matters, such as raising our son and planning our future, while our robot buddy takes care of the frivolous part of our lives. I am just kidding, I do not have a robot buddy but that would have been great wouldn't it? Thing is, us humans do spend a considerable amount of time doing repetitive tasks. Tasks that just seem so mundane in everyday life, like making that first cup of coffee you so very much enjoy every morning, then dropping your children at school after which you then find yourself driving the same road to the office yet again. These repetitive tasks can make you feel quite like a robot at times. Would not it been great if we were to automate these tasks?
One could see it as an aspect of laziness, like come on how hard can it be to make a cup of coffee in the morning? But in my life, I place a great emphasis on time. Should it take me five minutes to prepare a cup of coffee every morning, that works out to thirty five minutes a week and about 2 hours every month I'd spend on time preparing coffee. What else could I done with this time? TBC...
