When the N.Y. Times asked “eleven prominent men and women” (and it was actually 8 men, 3 women) what technology or gadget they would like to see invented, the selected group was nicely eclectic (Margaret Cho, Donald Trump, Scott Adams) but they should have rounded it off with a prominent homekeeper (male or female). Unfortunately, there aren’t any. Or are there? They should do a followup piece on normal folks with regular jobs who don’t have assistants. (via gizmodo and Techdirt)
