Cooker

Mitsubishi developed the first rice cooker in the late 1940s. In 1955, Toshiba produced an electric cooker with timing function. The so-called timing function, that is, when the pot of water evaporation, the temperature will rise again to a certain state, the thermometer induction, it will automatically stop heating, raw rice cooked into rice. Four years later, half of Japanese households bought the rice cooker. No fire, convenience, sanitation, safety. The cooking process becomes: wash rice, add water, button, then can be at ease to busy other meals or housework, never burnt. Significant savings in human and mental capacity. Housewives love it, not every day salad pasta, no rice not huan overseas students also love it. A few people nest in the dormitory small room each person a rice cooker to boil warm three dishes a warm scene, every day in the staged. The modern rice cooker, cooking stew and simmer multi-functional, in 2005, China's rice cooker production of about 60 million units. Young people who know how to cook with open fires and clay pots are now scarce.

Can choose to eat cookies or anything, but in the winter night, a bowl of three minutes to complete, hot soup noodle, is instantaneous warmth and enrichment. Maybe there are some children, parents go out to work, only depend on cup noodles. Therefore, instant noodles is a kind of lonely food, but also a lot of busy city people, claiming to know the only cooked food. Although not very healthy, but like a person in the sea of loneliness, sometimes there is no way. In the minds of overseas students, a box of instant noodles is the treasure of the Zhai.

Without the advent of calculators, the global economy could be in a muddle and might not take off as the war ends. As the numbers become larger, more and more, fast and precise tools are needed to match. Numbers are money. Spending every day, counting every day. Count the gains and losses, calculate the discount, the interest, calculate the rise and fall, the exchange rate, calculate the opportunity rate ... Why do you want to calculate? Because money is never just enough. By 2006 alone, Casio had sold 1 billion of calculators around the world, though calculators were now almost worthless.
