The kitchen... OF THE FUTURE
In the future, men will be at ease handling vegetables. Holographic girlfriends will appear for sex at the press of a button.
Not sure why there are three taps. There's a press release which might explain Tap #3, but it's a bit heavy going.

Future Vision: Goodbye Celebrity Chefs, Hello Virtual Chefs
- 2014 will see Brits ditching cook-along programmes to watch their very own virtual chef at work -
Tuesday 14th April 2009 - A new report by electrical specialist Comet, predicts that our kitchens will take a dramatic turn for the better by 2014. In five years we will be experiencing new technology developments in our home kitchens with the addition of "virtual chefs" and "intelligent fridges" that can suggest bespoke recipes based on its contents. Brits love a good cook-along programme with Gordon Ramsay and James Martin leading the way but soon the celebrity chef will be phased out in favour of personal virtual culinary assistants who will be a permanent fixture in each of our homes in just five years time.
A welcome addition to help ease our busy lifestyles is the "virtual chef" which takes the form of a 3D virtual hologram, Comet predicts. The "virtual chef" will act as a human friend who will be constantly by our side to offer cooking advice, cookery technique demos and bespoke recipe suggestions in the comfort of our own kitchens. The British kitchen will change significantly in the next five years and become a much more exciting place to cook in. No longer will there be struggles to get cooking timings and measurements correct, the virtual chef will take the pressure off so we can focus on entertaining and relaxing. Gone will be the days of listening to Ainsley Harriet's bad jokes or Nigella's sultry suggestions, the "virtual chef" will only speak when spoken to.
The "intelligent fridge" will be a second addition to the kitchen of the future, programmed with technology to offer recipe and mealtime suggestions just by sensing what contents lie inside it. Comet predicts that the 'intelligent fridge' will have the ability to contact you on your way home from work and suggest a variety of options for your supper to save you a trip to the supermarket. By 2014, traditional recipe books will be a thing of the past as our kitchens will boast 'electronic paper' recipes and video demonstrations placed on walls or cupboards for our convenience.
Brits are more than ready for the arrival of these new future kitchen technologies with almost a third of those aged 20-24 eager to have robots cooking their dinner and 40% expecting our fridges to suggest recipes based on its contents.
Bob Darke, Comet's Commercial Director, is excited about the future developments in the kitchen, "Five years is not that far away and before we know it our kitchens will become more advanced than we can imagine. In previous decades areas such as home entertainment have excelled in technological advances, and it will soon be the kitchen that will start to evolve and introduce new and exciting developments."

What a load of old cock. Mind you, I do quite like the idea of a woman who will only speak when spoken to.
Tap #3 is for minced beef, obviously.
(Tap#2 is for tea)
Interesting reflection on that pepper, not entirely sure how the top of the pepper is visible like that, almost as if the laws of physics don't apply when an infinite number of chimpanzees are given a copy of photoshop.
Concur.
Definitely one for photoshopdisasters.
Over at Tomorrow's World, we did a lot of stories about the robot assistants of the future and one thing we are sure of is that if you are going to generate a virtual laydee, why not have one that is shaped like a laydee....with tits, for example. And a normal sized head.
So Comet are our societal futurists now, eh, as well as wholesalers of electrical tat? That's lovely, but I bet there fucking ISN'T a '3-D Virtual Hologram' chef in my kitchen by 2014, you bell-ends... Also:
1. If she CAN be made to exist then I'll have mine without the matrix style grid thing, please.
2. Under no circumstances will I ever accept my fridge phoning me as I'm on the way home from work (unless it's to tell me about some great new porn it's discovered on the internet or something like that).
Comet = Numpties
Virtually would.
Look here marketing people, spending your training budget on a course in Photoshop Elements
will only expose you to mocking comments by the online community who know better.
No prepare yourself to feel chastised and shamed!
Agree with BadBen. You've conquered the technology to make a holographic person, why cover them in see through graph paper?
It's a bit like the FBI or CIA. I know from watching films that they have fantastic software for searching for a "face match" or something against some terror suspect...however they have been unable to eliminate strange electronic bleeping noises from their computers as they type, or it searches. And passwords always appear in plain text.
For a moment I thought that was Shiny Shiny Sara, but no.
What a disaster, hope their products fit together better than their images do.
Couldn'y be arsed to read the waffle that went with it.
Also in the future, men's hairstyles will be reversed, and as a result they will all be moody.
Looks like Chloe from Shoreditch.
