We're inching close to Asimov's Solaria [0] world, where private armies of robots do all the work, the scant humans never meet, preferring to use video calls that set up holographic environments which seamlessly blend the backgrounds of all participants into a cohesive virtual space. 0 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_universe#Solaria

It would be nice to have that level of luxury

Yes, but he failed to predict the lameness that is MS Teams.

I don't even know what teams is. Chat? Email? Calendar? Msword? It seems to do everything but also sometimes want to open a separate application that does these things too. And I'm not entirely sure where conversations go because I seem to have a million created by other people that all get abandoned at some point. It makes me feel rather stupid that I cannot figure this out. Especially since slack just seems to make sense to me.
