Let's just all be glad we don't have to put up with early-90s-computer-generated 16/17th century style music constantly in the background.

This is LESS advanced than today. Who wants to do voice command with anything? It's a major pain in the ass.

All of this tech is here today. It's called an iPhone.

Acts like Siri v2.0

No shit if you have fucking food and grease all over you hands a super smart and fast voice comand would be sick. People hate the cell phone one because it suck. We could have some bad ass.

not far off

Fairly accurate. We have voice commands already, but nobody likes using them :(

I'd rather just touch my phone.

@Evanmileus I know an iPad is better for this sort of usage but the other person said a iPhone so I replied in terms of the iPhone. But when cooking, It make be annoying to have to wipe hands every time one needs to do something on the device. In my opinion, voice command has potential to improve but now very little people care for it due to bad experiences with it so companies don't feel much need to focus much on improving the overall system of voice commands.

@8jwong14 Essentially all voice command tech is slow and bulky to use. Clicking something with your finger is much faster, and easier.

And yes, this has a big screen. Guess what else has a big screen? An iPad.

And from start to finish of making a meal, you never wipe/wash off your hands to do something?

ahahahahahaha what crappy fonts.

@Evanmileus Maybe not you but some people like voice commands. Think of it like a chef instructing others in a kitchen. And this is a full screen not a small screen of a cell phone. Some people use full tablets or all in one computers. Anyway, who wants to pick up iPhone or use a touch screen with dirty hands?
