Technology:
How about a gas-powered robot for the home? A chain-saw motor you have to start when you want it to run, or the deluxe model that never shuts down, that fills itself from the tank in the garage and has a battery back-up. Like a roomba� only much much bigger and more versatile. A little noisier but far more powerful physically, and while it does have that clean-air-exchanged-for poisonous-gas thing like the automobile does, it won't require so much heavy metal to achieve work potential like batteries would.
Also:
The obesity issue. It wasn't happening back when people worked for their food, worked in the fields and walked to and from the fields they worked in, we know that. Now people are either embarrassingly fat, or they spend hours doing absolutely pointless exercise to maintain a body that looks as though they do a lot of work.
The labor of vanity.
So, we've exchanged a life of toil and back-breaking misery for one of idle time and luxury. According to the people who are in charge of public consciousness. But then those same people won't tell you the obvious truth, that we've gone from a way of living that served us well for tens of thousands of years to one that won't last more than another decade or two. And as a karmic bonus, the two areas of daily life that kept us trim and in condition, the road and the field, are now dangerous, inhuman landscapes, filled with poison gas, and poison dust.
