Picture a restaurant future in which a T-1000 scrambles eggs in a frying pan hand while a
Jetson-esque robot waits tables out front, her sass-meter dialed to a Siri-torching 11. Then un-think that because that's not how it's going to be at all. As more and more restaurants implement automation, robotics, and human-replacing tech into their business models, the rough outline of our food's future is emerging. And it definitely doesn't involve Skynet (most likely).
Bleeding-edge innovation can be unsettling, and often, that's because we're powerless against what is typically perceived as progress. But Futurist and Networks & Computing Chair at Singularity University, Brad Templeton -- who gets paid to ponder and predict how the world will interact with new technology -- has a few theories on why food's merger with tech might not be so scary at all. He's here to assuage our fears. And also to stop us from basing all our scientific acumen on Terminator movies. Hasta la vista, technical inaccuracy. https://www.thrillist.com/eat/nation/kitchen-robots-automated-restaurants-are-the-future/tech
