imagine the future

I've been showing the kids some documentaries about lifestyles of the future.
One would be smart clthing that can monitor heat,body temperature,heart rate,sweat or caps that monitor brain waves so with that a user could receive timely updates on his health condition,if he has potential heat cramps,a stroke coming or imminent cardiac arrest,it would notify emergency unit of hospitals.Even smart toilet bowls can do urine analysis or detect piles.
      I think fridge doors should act as interactive display screens of recipes by looking at the contents of veg and meat in our fridge and advising the best recipes and cooking methods to us to achieve optimum health.
    Floor tiles that have vibrators embedded could do foot reflexology or sofas with rollers embedded at the back for back rub.A smart installation at the balcony could have hydroponic vegetables like lettuce and herbs growing with an automatic greenhouse glass enclosure to shield from strong light and regulate UV light, with automatic sprinklers that deliver liquid fertilisers at designated times.
        Robots that have dual function as a refrigerator and oven and slow cooker means that if I'm at the office,I can activate remote control devices that would switch from fridge mode to defrost mode the marinated chicken or meat and roast or grill or stew ingredients I've put into its central holder.Best would be if i pour in detergent,it would clean itself.Yipee,Then the robot can transfer food to s serving dish and put it on the table when I want hot,piping meal.Now that robot is called MOM.She can be moody and so the recipes turn out with different taste everytime according to her whims and fancies.When all measurements are digitised and so on we just put the ingredients on a serving dish and the robot selects and weighs exact amount of spices and sauces.
     Appliance makers like Haier are moving offshore productions to be nearer to source of raw materials,cheaper labour and mass markets in Africa.There is  synergy
as R and D could be done to suit local needs of consumers.
