Kitchen Of The Future
Jack Masterton placed a smooth red potato in a clear plastic box andpressed a button.
Tens of microbots crawled out of a chute and onto the potato. Jackwatched their coordinated dance, each microbot leaving behind astraight white line exposing the starchy flesh.
Stage two. The microbots circled between the potato and an exit chute,each carrying a tiny ball of peel which they flung in the chute. Eachthen returned to the potato.
Stage three. Jack removed the perfectly peeled potato from the box andsmiled to himself. Amazing that people once used a knife for this.
