What?! The future is here kids. MIT’s Fluid Interfaces Group have revealed their latest project, Cornucopia, which is “a three dimensional printer for food, which works by storing, precisely mixing, depositing and cooking layers of ingredients.”

“So like, if you feel like an apple, you just put an apple cartridge in, run the apple program, and wait while printer extrudes an apple shape. Heating and cooling elements in the print heads do all of the cooking for you.”

Bonkers! I’m personally waiting for a TV that cooks the food that is being made while watching Food Network or Top Chef. That, in tandem with Smell-O-Vision, and I’m all set!

This video has some astonishing facts about the quick progression of information technology. For example, did you know that China will soon become the number 1 English-speaking country in the world? Or that the top 10 in demand jobs in 2009 did not even exist in 2004??

Check out this video. Seriously, it’s informative and interesting and makes you think about how much technology progresses in just a few short years.

Thanks Mom.
