Many people enjoy cooking as their leisure activity. It seems that people spend more time on eating culture. However, in the future, people will spend less time on preparing food for the following two reasons: development of the various cooking machine and busy life-styles.
To begin with, technology has been developed dramatically. Compare to the past, nowadays, it is much easier for people to cook since they own many cooking machine in the kitchen such as microwave or refrigerator. Furthermore, the more cooking devices will be invented in the future. For example, before the advent of microwave, people had to turn on the gas and fried it. However, nowadays, usage of the microwave allow people to boil or to fry food within few minutes. We can even cook the rice with it. Similar advance is shown with refrigerator or oven. These devices have brought convinence in ourlives. In the future, various of cooking devices will be made which will ensure short cooking time.
In addition, people, specially women, became much busier than the past. Even just few decades ago, most women were houswives. They had enough time to prepare three meals everyday. However, women usually work outside these days which impossible for them to cook everyday in the kitchen. To illustrate, my grandmother were a housekeeper. She always stayed at home, especially in kitchen, and did the house works. Most of her age were accustomed to it. However, my mother is a full-time teacher. She rarely cooks at home unless it is weekends. She cannot spare time to cook. She would rather eat outside or cook frozen food which takes only few minutes to be done.
To conclude, the improvement of cooking devices will shorten the cooking time. Also, busy life styles will rarely allow women to cook in kitchen. |
