A
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, intelligent future kitchen will soon help solve all your problems. The kitchen of the future 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's computer system will help keep an “eye” on the larder (食橱). If the larder is empty, it will call and place an order at the local supermarket.
If you are busy in the kitchen, the computer system will spell out the ingredients needed for each dish and indicate (指示) how to mix them. The recipe (菜谱) is downloaded by the smart kitchen from the Internet after checking the ingredients in the larder.
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. As you drink your cup of hot coffee, it makes your other half's change color on the other side of the world, another special way to keep in touch.

“I often check my e­mail forty times a day.”
“I often spend more than three hours during one time on the net.”
“I spend more time in chat rooms than with my ‘real­life’ friends.”

The use of the Internet can be an addiction like drug (毒品) use. People lose control (把握) of the time they spend on the Internet.
For example, one college student was missing for several days. His friends were worried, and they called the police. The police found the student in the computer lab: he was surfing the net for several days straight.
