The Next New Thing

We already have a popular site to watch things (YouTube), we already have a popular site to listen to things (Pandora), now we should have a popular site to taste things. We always see delicious foods on tv, books, magazines, etc. but we never really get to taste them. How do we know if that food is good? How do we know if it is bad? We won't really know until we try them for ourselves, and that usually takes time and money (if you have to go out and eat a certain food in a restaurant). To be able to taste things online will be a spectacular thing to do. With the rate that technology is improving, it would not be surprising that they would provide a special tab (clean of course) to put into our mouths and have a popular website that have a huge plethora of food that we can taste. The tab will simulate the food that we choose we want to eat by changing the taste of our saliva temporarily. If people can't afford these special tablets, the website can provide makeshift recipes which taste like a minute at most to prepare, like combining ketchup with mustard to get a 'taste' on how the food will taste like. We already have our sense of sight and hearing stimulated, the next thing that technology should tackle is the sense of taste.

  2. Very interesting idea, I like the idea of targeting senses, one by one. First youtube with sight, Pandora with hearing, and this with taste. Perhaps something to the touch and feel may come out first. Nice article.
