Not only are phones and computers simplifying people's life. Things as little as an electric kettle may help simplify your busy work schedule at the office. And a simple technologically-advanced wristwatch may enhance your work. Living this way is called the automated lifestyle.

3. The iRobot series

The Roomba is a kind of iRobot vacuum cleaner which can be programmed. You can simply preset it while the mechanical process takes care of the rest.

The same company producing iRobot, also has some other highly automated products such as the Scooba 450. This is like a floor scrubbing equivalent which even takes chores to a different level. It was designed in a way that's not technical, with simplicity.
