Company Creates a Self-Making Bed
MarkWhittington writes "A Spanish company has created a bed that will make itself. Ordinarily I am excited about just about any technological advance, but this one leaves me wondering what it's good for. It might be that as a rather slovenly housekeeper, I do not see the purpose of making a bed. The idea of being able to bounce a coin off of a sheet that has been stretched tight seems to have been an invention of moms and drill sergeants to torment people. Why make up a bed in the morning when it's just going to be unmade that evening (or sooner if one likes an afternoon nap?) When I was a lad, dreaming of the wonders that awaited in the 21st century, among the flying cars, colonies on the moon and jet packs, self-making beds somehow escaped by imagination, even as my sainted mom forced me to make mine before heading out to school."
When I get out of bed, the first thing I do is make sure it is properly made...
Likewise, when I take off my shoes, the first thing I do is lace them up...

Answer:
To demonstrate to your future girlfriend that you aren't a slob.
Also because wife says so.
This! ^^^
Sometimes the best answer is because my wife likes it that way. ^_^
But this device would be utterly useless to my wife, unless there is an optional accessory that carefully places the (no fewer than) 7 pillows that for some reason belong on our 2-person bed.
Eloi are stupid, throw morlocks at them!
Listen, if there's no chance of the party extending into the bedroom, I don't wanna go.
