The single most important device that one cannot do without
today is the mobile phone. Correction! I would rather name them the I-Phones,
the I-Pads, the Tablets, the Smart phones. All these can be used to read books,
write letters/stories/blogs, draw pictures, surf the internet, purchase
products, book train, flight, movie and theatre tickets, play games, do
official work, do monetary transactions, etc. etc. etc. And, by the way, they
are also used as phones. About 7-8 years ago, I had once heard a line about a
mobile phone: “It’s a phone, you call, and you hang up”. But I suppose, it’s
not that simple anymore. This gadget offers multitude of services or apps which
help you with almost every possible need in life today.
However, it’s pitiable that mobile phones have not yet been
programmed to cook for us. That’s one app which the world might be waiting for.
Food at the press of a button! Wow!! Imagine feeding the device with vegetables
or meat and masala/spices of your choice, and lo behold… the dish is ready. No
stoves, no fire, no utensils, no waiting and preparation time. You can throw
away all the cooking tools and buy only cutlery and crockery. Just think of the
dish, input the ingredients in the app, and that’s it. Your plate is full. A
new cuisine everyday!
Now imagine this! Breaking News: ‘Chefs lose jobs, restaurants,
vegetable and meat shops and grocers close down- Reason: Mobiles can cook’. ‘Huge sales of mobile devices for cooking
apps’, et al.
Are we ready for this revolutionary electronic food yet? Or
are we satisfied and happy to eat normally cooked food?
