PM

(phase i)

Your personal market (PM) allows you to order groceries straight from your home. Through a touch screen, you can browse and order from the grocery store's inventory without leaving home. The PM even recommends items for you to order based on your current diet and nutritional needs. You can also order a drink right from your PM. Just select your drink, put a cup under the tap and out comes your favorite drink.

Below the screen are temperature controlled drawers. You can set the temperature of each individual drawer so that you can store your food there. Have fruits? Place them in the bottom drawer with a cool temperature setting. Have frozen food? Place them in the top drawer and set the temperature to frozen.
