We'll be able to use it more effectively because door knobs will be obsolete.
In the future Know body will know what a door knob was though. Our attention spans are not that long. They will be like what? Dumb as a what? WTF. Oh that right dumb as a lever. Hmm just dosent have the same appeal. Its Sad.

The great screw debate.
To know more about screw, why not read the very interesting wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_drives

Phillips are still horrible technology. Robertson >>> phillips. Phillips are simply used because they are American and robertson screws are Canadian so the phillips became more popularized.
More popular != better.
The problem with robertson and using modern power tools is over torquing. Roberston is fine for wood screws, but for mechanical screws phillips is better choice.
If roberston was used instead of phillips in machine screws, you'd see a lot more destroyed threads, resulting in having to use taps.
My favourite combo is a philly with an impact driver.

We keep a lot of obsolete phrases about like "rule of thumb" it was legal somewhere to beat your wife as long as the stick you used is only as thick as your thumb We as a species keep saying things even when there original meaning is lost to time.
