(Hint: Internet of Things.) In related news, our young participants' "future requests" are being corroborated by current, cutting-edge work in innovation. For example, MIT Media Lab is dabbling in "digital gastronomy" to improve food preparation experiences—something mentioned by one of our kid-innovators. Related posts:
