  1. Writing a Machine: Technical Critical Practice 14 February 2004 RPI Troy, NY Joseph ‘Jofish’ Kaye Culturally Embedded Computing Cornell Information Science jofish@cornell.edu

  2. The Impact of Future Kitchen Technologies 1 October 2003 Campbell Soup Company Camden, NJ Joseph ‘Jofish’ Kaye Culturally Embedded Computing Cornell Information Science jofish@cornell.edu

  3. Five Technologies & A Trend That Will Change Kitchens 1. Always-on Internet (Broadband) 2. 802.11/Wifi 3. Cellphones (2.5G) 4. RFID 5. Ubiquitous computing 6. Recombinant architecture/habits

  4. 1. Always-on Internet (Broadband) 2003Q2: 20M in USA, +8M/yr [1] (Insert more of your favorite statistics here. Remember that most people don’t use it, but over time, they will…) Point: Always-on internet is a necessary precursor for devices to access the internet. [1]:http://cyberatlas.internet.com

  5. 2. 802.11x/WiFi (802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11g.) Wireless internet connections. Base station cost: $25 (after rebate, from Amazon.com) Card cost: $10 (after rebate, from Microcenter) Point: Easy, immediate, cheap internet access.

  6. 3. Cellphones 151.4 million in US by end 2003[1]. (Again, your favorite statistic here.) Why do we care? It’s about non-local communication. [1]: http://www.emarketer.com

  7. 4. RFID Radio Frequency Identification Barcode ++ Example: Mr. Java Example: Speedpass Example: Speedpass for 7-11

  8. 5. Ubiquitous computing (Invisible computing, embedded computing…) How many electric motors do you have in your kitchen? How many chips will you have in your kitchen?

  9. 6. Recombinant architecture[1] & Habits Cut up functions that previously happened in one place, and spread around: Cooking in the oven in the kitchen becomes cooking with [microwave | toaster oven | MRE pack | in-car heater | thermos | crock pot | induction ] [in the office | on the go | in the car (19%+) | by the TV | by the computer | in bed…] The kitchen is being redistributed. [1]: William Mitchel. (1997,1999…)City of Bits, and E-Topia. MIT Press.

  10. So: New Technologies… …but what do they do? Interaction Communication Entertainment. All of these technologies provide novel opportunities for ICE. But…

  11. …but not always: No ICE when eating! [1][2] [1] Berry Eggen, Gerard Hollemans, Richard van de Sluis. (2002) Exploring and Enhancing the Home Experience. Cognition, Technology and Work, Springer, London. [2] Diane Zimmerman Umble. (2000) Holding the Line: The Telephone in Old Order Mennonite and Amish Life. Johns Hopkins University Press.

  12. So what happens in a kitchen, anyway? 1. Communicating[1] 2. Eating 3. (or further down) Cooking So think about communicating! [1]: Genevieve Bell et. al., Peoples & Practices Group, Intel Corporation, Portland OR

  13. Communication options local person  local person local person  remote person local person  local object local person  remote object remote person  local object local object  local object local object  remote object

  14. Using communication with food: Where do I come from? • Local food • Premium: organic/local Express identity/communication You’re no longer limited to the label to communicate with the customer. RFID/barcode/customer initiated

  15. Using communication with food: Intimacy at a distance inStink[1] Honey, I’m Home[1] Prototypes Own the Aroma Experience! Monell Chemical Senses, etc. [1] Joseph ‘Jofish’ Kaye. (2001) Symbolic Olfactory Display, Master’s Thesis, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab. www.jofish.com/thesis/

  16. But! Technology: What Is It Good For? 1912: Taylor invents efficiency[1] Taylor consults, introduces technology for efficiency Efficiency = technology! But Technology =? efficiency? Not necessarily.

  17. Technology > efficiency! Particularly in the home. [2] Don’t conflate technology and efficiency. Think what technology can do for the experience. [1] Genevieve Bell and Joseph ‘Jofish’ Kaye. (2002) Designing Technology for Domestic Spaces: A Kitchen Manifesto. Gastronomica 2(2) [2] Joseph B. Pine et. al. (199?) The Experience Economy.

  18. Think what technology can do for the experience. (Different talk.) But find out through ethnography, cultural[1] / technological[2] probes. [1] Bill Gaver, Tony Dunne, Elena Paceti. (1999) Cultural Probes. interactions january/february. [2] Hilary Hutchinson et. al. (2003) Technological Probes. Proceedings of CHI ‘03, ACM Press.

  19. Functional food? “Other functional food products include higher-calcium yogurt, calcium-added ice cream, anti-oxidant enriched eggs, soy products and nutritionally enhanced sweets." —Megan Davis, "Convenience, conviviality mark mealtime trends for future," Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, January 2, 2000”

  20. But what does soup mean? this slide intentionally left blank

  22. Emotionally Functional Food Communication Soup - Prototype A: Postcard - Prototype B: Sweetie Doublepack Comfort Soup - Prototype C: Bear Soup - Prototype D: The Unbuilt Prototype (Susan Wyche) Convenient Soup - Prototype E: Extreme Soup - Prototype F: Convenient Soup (Wearable & Squirtable) Socially Aware Soup - Prototype G: Charity Doublepack Sexy Soup - Prototype H: Special Occasion Soup - Prototype I: Sexy Soup (I, II, III)

  23. Summary Technologies: Always-on, wireless, ubiquitous computing… Impacts: Increased communication, between people, people and objects, and between objects Trends: Recombinant Architecture, emotionally functional food / emoticuticals Caveats: Technology isn’t for efficiency
