WISH TO HAVE A LIFELONG PERSONAL CHEF??

In week 8, I will be blogging about the Internet of things (IoT). IoT is the interconnection via the internet of computing devices embedded in our everyday objects such as our laptops and smartphones, enabling them to send and receive data to each other.  With the rapid advance in technology, there are more and more powerful and impressive IoT that really catches my attention and entices me! There are even IoT that are wearables like healthcare devices such as the connected contact lenses and activity trackers and even GOOGLE GLASSES! 👓

With the variety of unique and spectacular IoT available, I have discovered a series of low-key IoT devices on Postscapes that really intrigued me under the 'Connected Smart Kitchen' section. Users are able to monitor and control their cooking devices and appliances from their Smartphone App📱Among the many different gadgets, one of them really stood out the most to me! Introducing to you the.....

EVERCOOK AUTOMATED PRESSURE COOKER🍲
 'EVERYCOOK' 
As stated, this cooker is designed for people who aren't comfortable in the kitchen, however to me this cooker is definitely for someone who doesn't enjoy the hassle of cooking; this cooker is made for me!🙋🏻‍♀️ 'Everycook' is part processor, part pressure cooker, and part robot🤖Firstly, users will select a recipe from an online database via their mobile app. Secondly, they will just need to feed the required ingredients through the slicer and into the cooking pot. A mechanical stirring paddle keeps things moving, and the heat settings and cooking time are handled automatically according to the recipe you chose. There’s even a scale so you don’t have to measure!!!! just add an ingredient until Everycook tells you to stop. Imagine every meal being prepared for you and the only thing you have to do is purchase the ingredients? 


However, this device has yet to be in the market, and the designer's work seems to be continuing. I honestly can't wait to see the future of this device as well as other IoT devices! However, will IoT really benefit us as much as it seems and feels? will personal datas and our privacy be at risk? will the ability of controlling our own lives be affected? will future generations get lazier since more and more things can be done for us? I really hope not!

  1. I certainly agree that household items with automated system has made life easier for many! However don't you agree that sometimes you would rather not have your data stored over convenience?
