Final Post


The food replicator system looks like a microwave, but has fewer buttons. The way it works is kind of complicated, but simple in a way. When you first finish cooking your first meal and put it on a plate, you place it into the replication system. It takes a picture of the plate and starts to replicate!

Throughout this semester, my thoughts on how to improve this invention have flourished with many new features that could easily make this the most revolutionary machine around. There would be no other machine around the world that could contain the all the components that this food replicator would. 

To really get the result that I would really want from my food replicator, I would need a lot of lets that may only be prototypes at this point in time. That's why this food replicator would be a great invention for the future when that stuff is actually possible. To replicate the food exactly, the food would have to be made in some sort of compartment in the replicator that can cook foods in many different types of ways simultaneously  Technology like that, as far as we know, isn't available but at this moment but I believe it will be. 

As far as using the internet to further increase the efficiency of this product, that is very possible. The built-in hard-drive is very useful as well as the camera needed to take a photo and analyze the dish you want to recreate. I feel as though this product could really take off if built with the right technology. This is an advanced machine that would possibly eliminate the microwave. 

I would need a very big canvas for this product. Lots of safety precautions would have to be taken for this machine because technology never used would be incorporated but I believe that if made right, the food replicator would help a lot of families with their traditional Sunday dinner. Using social media to spread the news of this idea could really make this idea a possibility and help a company notice the great advantages.

Lecture Post : Databases

The food replicator system looks like a microwave, but has fewer buttons. The way it works is kind of complicated, but simple in a way. When you first finish cooking your first meal and put it on a plate, you place it into the replication system. It takes a picture of the plate and starts to replicate!

The database for the food replicator is a key feature that makes the machine very useful.  It can save up to 100 of your favorite recipes on it's built in hard drive. The database will be able to sort out the recipes in alphabetical order so that you can easily choose what you want to eat.  

These databases allow also allow access to the internet & w.hich you can use to download some meal recipes. This makes the food replicator much more easier to use thanks to the databases that can store much needed information for the owner. Being able to retain that information saves a lot of time and effort.

Blogger Review

The blog that I am reviewing is Inhabitat.com, http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/03/portable-fission-reactor-urbee-2-fuel-cell-car/ . Inhabitat.com is one of the largest technology weblogs on the Internet. They are devoted to the development of new technology that could help create a sustainable future. It was started by NYC designer Jill Fehrenbacher in 2005 and has been very successful since.

This blog was about a lot of different topics that can help sustain energy in the future. The Urbee 2 is a lightweight, 3-D printed car that has 3 wheels and can reach up to speeds of 110 MPH. A company named Ubiquitous Energy are conducting research on solar cells that could keep your iPad running all day.  An 18-year old named Taylor Wilson is developing a portable fission reactor that could be more efficient than nuclear reactors. This shows that Inhabitat.com is dedicated to the cause for sustainable, clean energry.

Overall, I think that this is a good blog.  I like how they hit you with a lot of different topics instead of just one, dragged out story. It keeps you aware of the different things that are being achieved by people all around the world.  Writing in paragraphs also grabs attention because it keeps the blog nicely organized.

Lecture Post : Cloud Computing

The food replicator system looks like a microwave, but has fewer buttons. The way it works is kind of complicated, but simple in a way. When you first finish cooking your first meal and put it on a plate, you place it into the replication system. It takes a picture of the plate and starts to replicate!

Cloud Computing is a built in feature of the food replicator.  The machine is able to access the internet in which you can look up any featured food dish on the net.  You can then save the image onto the corresponding food replicator website that is connected to your replicator.  Once you save the image of the food, your replicator downloads that image on to its memory.

Now from here, you get all the ingredients needed to make the dish.  This is a great way to try new foods that have never had.  Thanks to cloud computing, it makes it easier to find out about different foods from different cultures.  If you want to try something, but know that you're unable to cook that certain dish, the replicator is a life savor.

Competitive Analysis

The food replicator system looks like a microwave, but has fewer buttons. The way it works is kind of complicated, but simple in a way. When you first finish cooking your first meal and put it on a plate, you place it into the replication system.  It takes a picture of the plate and starts to replicate!

The Imagine 3-D Printer is similar to my food replication system but very much different.  When it comes to delivering a finished food product, both machines do that but how they do it is what seperates them.  The 3-D food printer uses edible ink and food cartridges.  The machine prints food using multiple cartridges, going line by line until the desired shape is formed. My machine just simply takes a photo of what's inside and uses the ingredients given to make the same plate.  The food replication system is far less complicated and easier to clean.

The food replicator system looks like a microwave, but has fewer buttons. The way it works is kind of complicated, but simple in a way. When you first finish cooking your first meal and put it on a plate, you place it into the replication system. Once inside, a small camera captures an image of the plate and stores it using the memory system of the replicator.  Next, you place all ingredients used to make that meal inside a compartment that is part of the replicator and press the "begin" button.  Once done, you have a another delicious meal ready!

I believe social media could help boost the stock of my food replication machine greatly.  Once people get a genreal idea of what it is, they could suggest improvements or revisions that needs to be made.  It's be a great way to market my product and have big time manafacturing companies really looking into the invention.  It would only be a profit for them if they did.

I would continue to let people on social media know where things are heading with my device as far a progression grows.  I would continually advertise my product and surround it with a lot of anitcipation.  Once I've done this and it is released on to the market, millions of people can buy it and hop on a social site to brag about how good the invention is.

Entrepreneurship Post

Have you ever had such a great meal that when you're finished eating it, you've said "I wish I could have that again."  Well, with my invention, that can now be possible.  I've come with the idea to invent a food replicator.  With this, you no longer have to try and recreate your perfrect meal if you want to eat it again.

The food replicator system looks like a microwave, but has fewer buttons.  The way it works is kind of complicated, but simple in a way.  When you first finish cooking your first meal and put it on a plate, you place it into the replication system.  Once inside, a small camera captures an image of the plate and stores it using the memory system of the replicator.  Next, you place all ingredients used to make that meal inside a compartment that is part of the replicator and press the "begin" button.

During this process, the replicator is slowly analyzing every bit of the photo and sorting out the ingredients with precision.  Then, depending on how much food their is, or how long it takes the food to cook, your meal could take anywhere from 1 minute to 10 minutes.  I think this is a great idea, I mean, who can say no to good food.
