Tonight as I was putting non-bake cookies onto wax paper to dry, I was thinking that it would be really cool if I didn't have to do this. Yes, it was mostly because my back was killing me and I was standing in our 3 season sunroom which was below zero. But think about it. A fridge that can know what you have in it and order replacements. Drones that fly purchases to your home in 30 minutes. A programmable robot that can make cookies in your own home. The smell of a small batch of freshly baked cookies, within an hour of thinking of it. Well, unless you schedule cookies to be baked or that robots truly become much smarter than they are and can anticipate human feelings and how to correct them. Imagine that - your smart phone figuring out that you've had a bad day, so by the time you get home there are some still-warm cookies and some hot coco waiting for you. Yum.
Now, I'm not the first person to think of a totally automatic house. Not even the bad things that could happen like Ray Bradbury's There Will Come Soft Rains. There can always be a downside.
But I just want some freshly made cookies.
