Wouldn’t it be great if you could do your grocery shopping while you were throwing empty containers in the garbage, simply by scanning a barcode? Imagine scanning ingredients in the cupboard then telling your computer to search all of the recipe sites on the internet - simultaneously - until it found recipes containing that ingredient. Then with a few more clicks you add the ingredients that you still need from the chosen recipe into your shopping list.

Soon the food arrives at your doorstep. This vision of the future is not only coming, but it’s here now!
