Soo cool eh???!! So i was checking out new inventions online and I think i have found my favorite..and wait till you see the pic below..This Robo bartender makes drinks on demand!! t pours an Old Fashioned, but it’s all modern-day tech. MyFountain is the first fully automated drink slinger.
Beneath the countertop dispenser, a dorm-style refrigerator holds up to 12 types of alcohol and mixers, plus a water-line link and a carbon-dioxide cartridge for fizz. (If all goes well in upcoming trials, it may also stock concentrates from a big-name soft-drink maker.)
Atop the fridge sits the brain: an Internet-linked Windows XP computer. Enter new recipes on the touchscreen or on a personalized Web page, where you can also trade formulas with your friends.
Tap the screen to select a drink—say, the PopSci Smartini* and pumps send each ingredient up a tube to the nozzle, which mixes and pours them. While you imbibe, a pulse of hot water cleans the nozzle. A leftover droplet of water plugs each tube to keep the flavor from dripping into your next glass. Best of all, you don’t even have to leave a tip.!!!haha,,how cool does this sound?? I want one now!! lol..would you own soemthign like this and what do u think about this cool new invention?

In a way it's neat. But personally, I would rather have the personal touch. A waiter or waitress to chat with, and think of the jobs that would be lost if all the restaurants & bars went with this!
They would totally lose that personal touch. It frightens me, actually, to think about it!

humm ya know i never thought if that,,,i was more thinking of having one in my house..i really wasnt even thinking about Bars using them although thats the main reason..lol isnt it funny when u have one thing on your mind u zone out everythign else? lol..but you are right..then again at the same time..if the bartenders used it..just imagine how much faster we would get our drinks? instead of waiting for ever in a long line..i think its still a great idea..but thank you so much for your input..have a great weekend my friend!
