The end is nigh!
Personally, I miss having to carry my clothes down to the river and beat the dirt out of them. I enjoyed marching into the woods with my bone axe and doing hours of chopping. The fact that most of my day is spent on entertainment and diversions, of which this forum is one example, and socialising is truly depressing. The fact that I have a standard of living that the wealthiest person 1000 years ago would envy makes me feel very bad. And as for living twice as long...the guilt, the guilt! I just hate all this modern technology...it has ruined an otherwise purposeful and productive life.
However, I would definitely stop at giving machines the right to vote.
