These tasks were already on the to-do list prior to the invention of the washing machine.
It is true, however, that the day didn’t get any shorter so most people did fill up that extra free time with other tasks because most people consider doing nothing to be quite boring.
The to-do list is nearly infinite, so the top tasks ever get prioritised. Everything outside the top 10 may get done eventually or get totally ignored even though it would be really good to do those as well. Technology has expanded the list of things that realistically can be done today, this week or even during the year. It’s still the same amount of work, but you get more results.
