Dear Kid,
The world has now officially come to the end of its technological rationality.
Many people think that happened a long time ago, but I can now officially (and by “officially” I mean I’m saying it) report that the technology world has gone on-beyond, way beyond, beyond beyond rationality.
It seems not everyone is a certified mixologist and – wait for it – there’s an app for that. At least there will be in June.
Not an app where you can look up whatever drink you want and get the recipe; no, that might make sense. And probably already exists.
Created by a new company called Bernooli (here’s the article), this new app talks to your liquor bottles. Think more silent R2D2 rather than C3PO, but there is communication.
The idea is that you get the free app and then buy the kits. You need smart spouts which live on your bottles and communicate with the app.
Want to make a drink? Tell the app, and the bottles will light up, in the correct order, and measure the amount you’re supposed to use as you pour.
Before you race out and spend your hard earned pennies, be aware that the smart spouts aren’t going to be available until December, that they aren’t cheap, and that they don’t come with a bartender to talk to.
L’Chaim.
