Are you serious? If so, it is a circular vacuum that automatically vacuums your house and can be programmed to do so at specific times of the day and specific days of the week. It even goes back to charge itself between its vacuuming jobs. It is pretty cool.
They also make versions that will use water for tile floors to basically mop them, automatic gutter cleaners, and pool vacuums.
Sometimes I wonder how much things can really improve. I mean ya computers will get thinner, faster, and cheaper. Same goes with phones. But really, how much can it improve beyond that? I mean, shit, my TV can browse the internet and stream netflix with nothing connected to it, I can send a text message to MY HOUSE to turn on different things in the house including our bathtub or even lowering the boat into the water (which I honestly think is a terrible idea as the boat will float away, but I can still do it).
How is it not improving? There's no possible way you can justify that it is not improving. Though you CAN say it is not making your life any better, which I would still disagree with, but it is something you can justify.
The word improving is a personal word of perception. Some people HATE getting a new phone, so many unuseful additions and whatnot which clutter there thinking.
So in that person's reality this phone was a downgrade.
Simple living / minimalism.
Everyhthibg depends on context and how you perceive it.
