What high-tech gizmos will we see in the kitchens of the future? IKEA may have the answers. The Swedish superstore recently drew up a concept kitchen for the year 2040, and it’s pretty wild — it features self-cleaning kitchen counters, 3D holographic displays, cabinets on rails, a “sixth-generation” iPad, remote-controlled ovens, and a host of ultra-efficient energy-saving systems.
I think we should be careful about the aspect: How far the power is given to the kitchen. There is a fridge (LG) ordering your missing things.
ReplyDeleteThis system had no marketability. I think it is important to let people think that they have the control over the system.
Yeah, I think technology could become intrusive in this way. Maybe it's better to keep it in the background in an incidental way. Like in this video:

Wouldn't mind self-cleaning surfaces though.
