Whoever invented the washing machine should be knighted or sainted or both. Some say that dryers are doorways to another dimension. At one point I counted 21 stray socks in my drawers. That's more than I have total pairs of socks. My collection dates back many years, since I never lose the stray ones.
Hope springs eternal.
Dryers never need to be dried. I'm pretty sure that there are actually adults who have never eaten fast food, which is as hard to believe. It would be as hard to document either claim. Any notoriety or award we might offer would surely attract liars and imposters. In my lifetime, almost every other basic human activity has been totally changed by technology.
