This study was, well, interesting. Built.io, a technology provider, conducted a study that found 37% of working Americans would prefer a better way to automate their work tasks than have a better sex life.

Built.io’s study also found that 28% of Americans would disclose their contact information to automate everyday household chores, while 22% said they’d relay their health information like diet or weight for the automation capabilities. An additional 40% said they would disclose their demographic information.

The study also gauged Americans’ interest in automated cars and drones. About 21% of respondents said more than half of the car-driving experience will be automated in the next 10 years. As for drones:

  • 30% would most want a drone to deliver food from their favorite restaurant
  • 24% would most want it to do their grocery shopping
  • 20% would most want a drone to bring them drinks on a beach vacation
  • 20% of respondents would most want it to deliver gifts to loved ones on their birthdays and holidays

The survey was developed in conjunction with Wakefield Research.
