Superb!

I think I'll wait  until the fridge version appears so it can 
'accessorise' beer and Tesco's  pork scratchings hmm....

Seriously though do you think this could evolve into some form of 
utopian automatism? To be totally reliant on machines even to to do the 
most basic things. I think society would stagnate, no innovation maybe 
even loose the desire for knowledge, anyway I'm rambling and its not 
even lunchtime yet...
