Image crunched to fit here.

The kitchen computer is not a new idea, and the endless repetitive iterations and variations serve to do little more than restate the presumed need, although the lack of success of anything beyond concepts suggests that the need may be to sell more high-end appliances and to lodge OSs and chips in another venue, rather than a lack of info, access, or communication in the kitchen itself. The story of the kitchen computer of course still seems compelling but let's see something new from designers!

Somewhat embarrassing in this series is the repeated use of a reversed pasta box graphic. Hmm.
