As civilization develops in the direction of technology, it's no longer so difficult to supply the human beings with enough food, houses, clothes and warmth. Then we'll be faced with a choice between using technology to meet more needs which have by far been regarded as unnecessary or, on the other hand, using technology to reduce the number of hours of work which a man must do in order to earn a certain standard(标准) of living above what is necessary for comfort and happiness or we leave it at this level and work shorter hours. It seems to be sure that, by that time, mankind will choose to work shorter and shorter hours in their paid jobs. It follows that the housewives will also expect to be able to have more spare time in their life without lowering the standard of living. It also follows that there will be no human servants working for others doing the housework. It is not supposed that housewives will do all the housework themselves----robots will do it instead!
