As the machanical technology has made our life more convenient than twenty years ago, we tend to foresee our future to be even more pragmatic than now. This assumption might apply to various ways in our future life, and people may even insist that people will spend less time cooking and preparing food in twenty years than they do now. However, when it comes to enjoyable process like cooking, I strongly disagree with the given statement because making meals shall still be joyous work and also because the cooking method shall hardly be different in next twenty years.
To start with, preparing food is a enjoyable process for majority people. Although there are countless of instant meals and take-out food available these days, it is undeniable that we still ofteninvite guests over to prepare meals for them as such hospitality is a joyful work for most of us. Imangine that you are invited as a guest at your friend's place, and the host proudly informs you that every dish took only a moment to prepare it because there were ready-to-go ingridients available in the market. It is sure that not many people would appreciate such norms as preparing meals should definetely be a joyful process.
Moreover, the method involoved regarding making dishes shall not be much different in future. The development of technology might allow more comfort when cooking, but such devices shall have little to do with cutting down the duration of cooking. To illiustrate, when we look at how long it took to cook a same type of dish in 20years ago, though the number of dishes or type of food were smaller, the amount of time involved has yet been changed. Simply, cooking a delicate medium-rare stake takes about the same time as it did 20years ago.
To conclude, there might be some precognition that it will take a lot less time to make and prepare meals in 20years. However, I definetely disagree with such idea because cooking shall remain both enjoybale work, and because the way of cooking food shall not be varied much in the future as it has not been from 20 years ago. |
