Have you ever run out of coffee or tea? Found no eggs in the fridge? No bread for the sandwich and the nearest shop is too far away？Well，all that can change in the future.
If all goes well，the intelligent future kitchen will soon help solve all your problems.In the future，all kitchen units will be connected to the Internet.The intelligent future kitchen will give wise advice on planning your menu for the day.Worried about your weight？It will tell you the right diet and what is good for your health.It will even keep in mind your likes and dislikes!
Designed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology，this smart kitchen promises to pay attention to all your needs.The computer's system will help keep an “eye” on the fridge.If the fridge is empty，the kitchen will automatically call and place an order at the local supermarket.So you don't have to worry about it at all.
You get home late，and don't know what to make from the collection of ingredients (原料) in your fridge.A while back you might have ordered a takeout but now，instead of worrying about eating a collection of this and that，you're excited.You can pull out each vegetable，and pass each one in front of a web camera next to your fridge.A few moments later，a screen on your fridge would display a tasty recipe.
After dinner，you take your plates to a box next to the sink.You don't have to clean them.Your machine does.It produces new plates every time you need to eat.Later in the evening，you phone your other half，who is on a business trip halfway around the world.As you drink your cup of hot coffee，it makes your other half's cup change color on the other side of the world，another special way to keep in touch.
