Future robots will be mobile appliances. In-wall vacuum cleaners were a thing, but they have never become the standard for the same reason.
Decor will change - accent walls will be made of full-sized LCD screens in a curtain configurable to whatever the mood/situation calls for.

Well then yes. It stands to reason that a fourth grader will do better on most any test than a third grader.
Is that what they're studying?

This is a weird study. I would like to know where they found high socioeconomic status 9-11 year olds who lacked schooling.

So, essentially the optimal use case is a scenario where the national government collapsed taking its currency with it, but leaving the electric grid intact.

Reply to comment by dilletaunty in Logged forest compared with an unlogged forest could be better for climate change. A detailed assessment of vegetation growth, bird and mammal numbers, and energy flows in logged and unlogged forests offers some surprising findings. by Creative_soja
Yes. A varied canopy is important for habitat. The biggest problem from logging in temperate forests is road erosion into streams from overuse.

Reply to comment by sharksandwich81 in Among black parents, paternal support and interparental relationship quality can play a protective role, promoting maternal mental health and wellbeing. by Respawan
The presence of a biological father in the household as a protective factor for children's development is long established. That study has been repeated many times... presumably due to skepticism of the prior conclusions.
I am unaware of any studies designed to ask if the presence of a biological mother in the household is of any developmental value to kids.
Apparently some questions are, in fact, too intuitive to study.
But to the point of this, I still find it surprising that a researcher was curious if a parent is happier when their child is thriving.

Perhaps this is revelatory to the readers of the archives of women's mental health.
Less so to the rest of us.
Since the journal centers maternal mental health, for the rest of us, it seems intuitive that what is best for the development of their children is coincidentally, also best for moms own mental health.

Reply to The US government says women’s underwear should cost more than men’s by TheTim
Men's underwear is cheaper because, to men, cheap is considered a feature.
There's a reason that there's no such thing as Victor's Secret.
