How The Internet Changed The Way We Eat

The world we live in never stops to evolve. If only a two decades ago you could hardly think of chattering with your friend on a mobile phone, and only a few years ago you couldn’t imagine yourself surfing the web in an outdoor park by your house, today, every kid can operate a smartphone with a flic of his finger and reach every bit of information known to mankind.

This changed our lives in many aspects, for better or for worse. The mass of information we and our childrens consume at any waking hour has doubled and tripled itself since the cellular revolution has swept our world beneath our feet, causing a never ending concentration disorder that effects the main bone structure of the modern human race. The reachable information is always at the tip of your finger, causing people to think less and react more. Our memory is not as good as our parents' was at our age, because we need it less than they did- why training your memory in remembering difficult numbers and facts, when you can swipe your finger to the left and to the right, and find the information you were so keen to get in less than a few seconds.

But before you'll tag this article as a conservative revisionistic assay that only find cons in the technologic evolvement of the modern age, here we reach the real thing we gathered to talk about- the benefits of accessing the world's knowledge from every corner of the planet with no difficulties. Some might say the ability to communicate with our loved ones when we are in the middle of a desert is enough to crown the cellular revolution as a huge success. As much as we agree with this notion, we feel that this doesn’t require the use of sophisticated smartphones.

For us, the full use of the web is reflected in our cooking opportunities. Let's say, again, that you are in the middle of the dessert. You have your backpack filled with equipment, and after a long walk you start to feel the urge to stop and eat something refreshing. Now, you have some ingredients, but have no idea what you can do with them. This is where connecting to the web might help, because the internet is swarming with recipes that can fit your need. All you have to do is search for them through your smartphone, and there they are on your screen, just waiting for you to take them under your wings.

But you don’t have to go to the end of the world or to the middle of the nearby desert to take full advantage of the possibilities the web holds within its grasp. Every one of us found himself or herself looking from time to time for the perfect recipe that will help refreshing our dinner. Some of us are looking for a new spaghetti meatball recipe, some are searching for the shrimp cocktail that will change their lives and some will do anything to find some exciting dessert recipes for the weekend. The answer for all is the grasp of your reach, so why not holding it, and pulling to a whole new existence?
