Mixing Spoons and MIT

Apparently, all of the worlds problems have been solved. Or at least they have been in the eyes of some professors at MIT. While watching the Food Network last night they had a show on kitchens of the future. Now I grew up believing that MIT was one of the universities in this country that great minds flocked to, too solve the great problems of our time. My how times have changed. The next big invention to come out of MIT will be.....the mixing spoon. That's right all the world apparently needs is a good old fashioned mixing spoon. Not just any mixing spoon, this spoon is electronic and can talk to your computer. It will tell your computer if your food is to salty, to bland, to sweet, to sour. It can tell you if the batter you are mixing is to thick or to thin. Now call me old fashioned but I have always felt that the most efficient way to test the flavor of your food was to taste it. With those taste bud that God, or mother nature, or evolution gave to you.
