Once again, I did a random search, this time for digital beverage. The first thing that I noticed was a digital beverage dispenser and mixer. This device has a very minimalist and sleek design and manages to mix alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. It also connects to the internet and can be updated with new mixes. These are pretty helpful and a neat little gadget to have around the house. I think that this raises the question, however, of is digital technology becoming to pervasive. One has to ask themselves if we really need a digital drink mixer. The honest answer is what could it hurt. After scouring around the internet, almost every appliance around has some sort of microchip or digital display at the least. This item also couldn't really exist without digital technology. Nothing ever allowed you to press a button and mix a drink while having limitless drinks available to be made. I find it very interesting that this smart appliance exists. http://www.lge.com/about/rnd/digital_appliance.jsp, LG's website, explains that they have a very strong commitment to digital appliances. Some of their concerns are clearly outlined as more functional than stylistic, but I believe that if LG is taking this seriously so are all of the other manufacturer's. This leads me to believe that we will be seeing many more things like this in the future, and I welcome it.
