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.
