A Self-Making Bed: Brilliant or Bad Idea?

It doesn't really matter to me ,I never make my bed when I get up anyway..

yeah brilliant way to become lazy and a brilliant way for future generations to not even know how to do the simple effortless task: making a bed. yeah reeeaaallll brilliant. and i thought MY generation was lazy. makes me feel bad for the future generations. unless people get encouraged to exercise near daily

I'm sure some people had the same thought when they got running water instead of having to walk to a well or when we invented dishwashers or garage openers or a remote controls or microwaves or washing machines. I use all these things does that make me lazy? I'm more productive because of these things and my time and effort is more focused on school and work. It's not as if magically the energy I'd use to make the bed is wasted or disappears it goes towards other things.

well as in lazy i dont mean sleeping all the time. i mean lazy as in everything becomes automatic. nothing takes work anymore. a life with hardly any effort is a dull life.

People can work hard and have automation in their life. Some people might choose to be lazy with their free time and energy while some might take it to do productive stuff. Technology empowers us to push how far we can go good or bad. I don't think my life is any duller because I don't have to hand wash my clothes.

well maybe YOU use it to help you get out there and do lots of things in YOU'RE daily life, but as for younger people especially teens (as i would know myself by watching my peers) and even younger it doesnt help encourage them to get outside. our generations have gotten lazier because of it. not that technology is a bad thing, but it should only be used for practical things such as safety and tracking and recreation and to make harder tasks easier, not making things too easy to where we have to do almost nothing for ourselves. i mean whats next? robotic maids? sounds ridiculous but in this era its not too far-fetched. soon our latter generations will forget how to do simple tasks because they will be replaced by technology that does it for us. in my opinion thats kinda sad

If your going to capitalize whole words why don't you use the right word. I guess auto correct is another piece of technology that can be misused. I'm sure YOUR dependence on it has lulled you into thinking that what you have written is grammatically correct. I'm just busting your balls, sorry.

But really a bed that makes it's self isn't going to be the downfall of society. Why are robotic maids so ridiculous or a bad thing? We have real maids that clean and make beds. What would the difference be to the person using them? Are rich people who have maids lazy or do they just have better things to do with their time then to clean. Obviously they have talents and drives so well suited to contributing to society that they get paid boatloads to hire people to do menial, tedious, meaningless things such as making a bed. We have advanced as a society so we don't need to do so many tedious things freeing up our time and energy for progress and our own pursuits.

What exactly would we forget how to do? Put a blanket over a bed? Please. And what exactly is the correlation between going outside and making beds? Your scale of what is too easy and what isn't is arbitrary and can change over time and has. If we were able to tell your great great great great grandfather of all the conveniences we have today he'd say we're a bunch of lazy spoiled babies who probably can't function without our fancy gadgets and in his opinion be "kinda sad".

actually it wouldnt be a total lie that we have become lazy because of technology. for instance (although people still have free will) now that cars have become much more affordable and stuff and ever since online and its sites such as facebook and other things like that have made their debut the obesity rate has went up because a larger amount of people are more inclined to be at home or in cars rather than outside walking or jogging or really anything. kids dont even run around and play like they used to. theyd rather be home on facebook or playing video games. now i have nothing against either. i LOVE video games and facebook is fairly decent. however you cant deny that technology HAS played a role in the laziness of today's generation. all i saying is that i think enough things are convenient. we should only improve upon the necessities now such as safety, 3ducation, and stuff like that. the majority needs to be encouraged and even pushed a little to be more active rather than at home on the computer or tv or in their air conditioned cars day after day. im not saying YOU do that but the MAJORITY does and if easy self-tasks keep becoming more and more convenient less and less people are going to want to do things for themselves. i guarantee it.

The idea is good, but not for someone like me who wants to keep it simple and stupid.

Another useless idea for laziness. And I wonder why half the developed world is fat.

People are lazy enough as it is. But I don't care if my bed is made anyway. I'm just gonna sleep in it and mess it up. Oh wait... I don't have a bed. I sleep on the living room floor lol.

I am so going to buy one of those.

I'm not that lazy. That's a little too dependent on technology for me...

I agree.

have we really become that lazy we can't even make our own beds??

yes! i want that bed! Its going to be creepy till get use to it..but then its going to be awesome!

I'd rather make my own bed,at least I'd know it was done the way I do it and not by somebody's companies standards.

Useless. I guess it's true what they say, lazy people get creative. Or maybe people who want to make money get creative for lazy people.

The mechanics could be better but I the idea is good.

I have little patients for people who are against development because drudgery provides some kind of good work ethic. If you believe that kind of thing join the Amish and I'll see you when it's time to buy some apple butter.

I've never had much respect for the philosophy "that's how my parents did it, that's how my grandparents did it, so it's good enough for me."

Give me a smart, slightly-lazy but PRINCIPLED person with a good work ethic A good work ethic does NOT mean you working harder but dumber. It means you what what NEEDS to be done because it needs to be done. If you have a bit of natural laziness in you but still have enough of a work ethic you do what needs to be done but consider possible BETTER ways to do it (and if you're smart you can make that happen).

There will always be work to be done. Coming up with better ways to do today's work is how mankind develops. It's what made this nation and western civilization strong.

No thanks. Wouldn't work with my pillow arrangement anyway.

It reminds me of the Charlie Chaplin's eating machine :)

Bad idea, especially for children. I'm not nearly as worried about their safety, as I am their work ethic. Is easy to wire safety function into the bed. Is not easy to wire a sense of responsibility into your children. Simple chores, like making the bed for instance, begin to build work ethic. Like we need to give our children ( or ourselves), just one more reason to depend on something (or someone) else, to do our work for us. We are fast becoming a society of fat, lazy, physically incapable techno-junkies. And regardless of popularity, I do not want one of those robot vacuums, or a car that parks itself....Just a thought....

Think of the possible malfunctions- anyone?

Also, I leave things on my bed. My cat is there, as are books and a few pencils.

Also, this bed will not pick up pillows from the floor or at the foot of the bed.

The bedding that comes with the bed is boring and not thick enough. In the winter I sleep with a heavy down comforter and an electric blanket.

also I love that bed in your pic...I have not seen anything like that before love it..

Soooo creepy! *shudder*

I used to be the type to ALWAYS make my bed, but now I'm like "meh..."

gross, The bed could accidentally malfunction and teabag somebody.

Yep and that's nasty,nasty,nasty.

Bed idea

Agreed.

I think thats a excellent idea i dont have to make up my bed anymore so thats cool.

People are so lazy. It takes 10 minutes to make your bed. The Wall-E storyline is coming true faster than I expected. Pretty soon were gonna have a machine to help us get dressed, cars that drive themselves( already pretty close) and we already have grabbers for when we don't want to bend down, self feeding pet bowls and online grocery shopping. So pathetic.

Cars that drive themselves are actually a pretty good idea, they already have a type of pod that drives itself. It's very safe. People make more accidents than those things do.

How much lazier can we GET!?

What about having this mechanism on the kids room floor! Now, that would be brilliant.

So I can't throw my pillows off my bed in the middle of the night? Because that's what I do! I don't want my ferret getting smothered, because he sleeps in my bed some nights, and if I get up, he'll die. What about when it gets cold? Can it handle a big blanket, cuz I needz to get my snuggle on!

It would never work for me, because I can have the covers so twisted after one night, the arms would be tangled, but I like the idea that people are still coming up with new innovations and that we have not lost all of our creativity

I wouldn't like it. I want a top sheet extra wide so I can roll up in it.

YOU SHOULD GET UP AND FIX YOUR OWN BED HOME MADE G

That's an awesome bed.
