The Kitchen Table of the Future!

 

Some years from now, the R&D Team of The New York Times are pretty confident, your morning routine might look the same way it does now: sit at the table, drink a cup of coffee and read the newspaper. However the “read” newspaper part, though, might work a little differently, as the Nieman Lab found out:

 And news itself, in the same way, collapses into the broader universe of information. We’re used to thinking of “the news” as its own category, as something to be consumed primarily during commutes or during post-work relaxation in the evening. But news is becoming more pervasive (there’s evidence that many people, at the moment, consume the bulk of their news during the day, integrated into their work), and the R&D platforms reflect its ubiquity. The prototypes on display at the R&D Lab consider how news can be used, in particular, in the home, woven into the intimate contexts of the morning coffee, the family dinner, the daily getting-ready routine. They explore what it means to brush your teeth with the Times.

Well, after watching the Video, I can’t Wait to a part of my mornings. And it isn’t that far either.
