ORIGINAL: BenevolentM With the advent of washing machines the services that women provide men are not as important as they once were. The need/demand for sex has remained the same or increased. It certainly hasn't decreased. Women now have a greater value to society offering their submission to a boss than to a husband. If you believe washing machines are of such importance, can I suggest you marry one and the pair of you settle down to a long and mutually beneficial relationship. I've no doubt that you will soon master how to turn your partner on ........ I can just see the sparks flying ...... Yes, you'd think that such a relationship would be happy, yet that old bit about the "lonely Maytag repairman" makes me wonder. Washing machines have instruction manuals and a set of clearly marked dials and switches, so they're pretty easy to turn on. Dryers, too, and dryers can be pretty hot sometimes. I would also give mention to microwave ovens and the cottage industry of microwavable meals which has cropped up. [;)] Indeedies! We shouldn't overlook the advantages of the manufacturer's warranty either. Yes, although on a more serious note, I think that it's difficult to pinpoint a single invention or improvement in technology which changed the nature of human relationships from what they used to be. The washing machine is only one of many time-saving devices (although not every family has a washing machine or dryer). Taking into consideration urbanization and improvements in transportation/communication technology have changed things immensely. Has marriage become less important or obsolete in today's modern society, as BenevolentM suggests? For some people, that might be true. A lot of people stay single all their lives, and I know many people who were married in the past but don't ever want to get remarried. I don't think it has much to do with washing machines, though.
