RE:You know what?I agree... I'm in the demographic of CA's daughter and son-in-law... we have different priorities with regards to how we want to spend out time and quality of life... my Roomba sweeping robot is my best helper, next to the mopping robot; they have freed up my time to spend it instead on playing with my kids... something my parents had little time to do because of the huge lawn we had growing up (2.5 acres of lawn to cut on a 4 acre lot). I agree, my generation is far more open to automating the mundane home maintenance jobs... I look forward to getting my power shed and automatic lawn mower at our next house (1-2yrs).

I will use my oldest daughter and her common-law boyfriend-husband for example. They live a couple blocks from me in small town Ontario. She is a nurse and he is a union crane operator. Annual combined income 200-250k. Thats a very common combined income from alot of their friends here and distant.. Some more, some less. Singles are 80-150k. Not one of them want to come home and cut the grass. Honestly I actually liked cutting the grass at their age. But none of them do. For many different reasons and heres the kicker, they are the ones that spend money on stuff. Not us 50-80 year olds because we are too cheap and stuck in our old ways. I can totally see them now sitting out back having a drink watching their new robotic lawnmower. Seriously. Now just think about the Torontonians, then think about the Americans. Gets ya thinking big time.

PS They think nothing about taking their vehicle to be cleaned for 25 bucks then come home to their house to sit, game,friends over etc. I just couldnt Im too cheap but they arent.
