Since the first tests carried out by Marc Grégoire in the late 1950s, Tefal has constantly evolved and is now a world leader, not only in non-stick frying pans, its flagship product launched to great acclaim in 1956, but also in many other cooking products and small electrical appliances The recipe for this success: constant innovation. Tefal has always striven to listen to consumers and anticipate changes in their lifestyles in order to offer products suited to their needs. Tefal has kept up with two essential phenomena. First of all, the kitchen's role in the home has totally changed. It has become the shared central focus for the whole family, the place where people come together, talk and welcome guests. At the same time, our relationship with food has undergone a profound transformation. Preparing a meal is no longer a burden – cooking has become a pleasurable experience. Tefal is now a global brand, with a presence in more than 120 countries. Tefal aims to remain a symbol of innovation, and seeks to anticipate the developments that will revolutionise the home order to imagine the essential items of the future in the kitchen and throughout the house. Technological developments and consumers' expectations provide a glimpse of some exciting prospects: the connected kitchen, user support, the trend for ever-healthier food, more powerful robotics… These are all areas where Tefal is committed to offering surprises. "Tefal aims to remain a symbol of innovation, and seeks to anticipate the developments that will revolutionise the home." Colette Grégoire, wife of the Tefal inventor "If your PTFE is as wonderful as you say, use it for something useful. Make me a pan the milk won’t stick to!" The economy is doing well, consumption is booming and new icons are a breath of fresh air. Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly are inspiring a model of femininity focused on pleasure and freedom. In all fields, there is a determination to break free from the constraints of the past and embrace a modern, relaxed lifestyle. This is the background against which Marc Grégoire, a French engineer, is preparing to revolutionise the daily lives of cooks everywhere… Marc Grégoire patents his “non-stick frying pan” in 1954. His innovative concept involves a process used to fix PTFE, a material with non-stick properties, to an aluminium disk. The result is a totally non-stick pan that makes cooking simple and enjoyable. Marc Grégoire opens his first factory in Sarcelles in the Paris suburbs and chooses the brand name Tefal. His factory produces 100 frying pans a day in its first year. In 1961, Jackie Kennedy, the new fashion icon, is photographed leaving a New York store with a Tefal frying pan in her hand. The image is seen around the world and gives the brand an international dimension. Terence Conran, English designer "The kitchen is no longer a room where people meet out of necessity, but for pleasure." The kitchen has become the nerve centre of the home for the whole family. It is the room where we meet for breakfast, we talk over lunch and we welcome guests in the evening. In many countries, the concept of the open-plan kitchen has taken hold. Tefal widens its range of products and enters the small electrical appliance market. In 1968, SEB - soon to become Groupe SEB, the world leader in small household equipment - acquires Tefal and its five European subsidiaries. Tefal’s expertise, including the non-stick coatings that are the company’s trademark, are now applied to products from the Group's other brands. As the women’s liberation movement spreads through most developed countries, advertisers exploit the theme to emphasise the time women can save by using new electrical appliances. Bernard Loiseau, French chef (3 Michelin stars) "The table is the ideal hub for relaxation and socialising!" Welcoming guests has never been such a pleasure. Although the tradition of Sunday lunch is being eroded, new opportunities for sharing friendly meals, whether ordinary or more festive, are being imagined. Buffet meals and brunches are now eaten with family or friends at the kitchen table or in the living room. The table is not just a place to to eat, it is above all, a place to communicate. Tefal responds by creating a range of products dedicated to entertaining… With the raclette grill with non-stick pans (1975), the electric fondue set (1979) and, later, the first electric Pierrade® (1990), Tefal invents a new way of sharing meals: preparing them directly at the table with the focus on fun. Working with tourism professionals, restaurant owners and cheesemakers, Tefal plans to bring raclette cheese from Savoie to a wider public. Thanks to its dedicated appliance, the rise of raclette takes it beyond national borders, and the raclette grill becomes an essential accessory for winter meals. Even a president loves a friendly meal! In 1975, Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, the newly elected President of France, decides to meet his “ordinary fellow citizens”. And what better way than by inviting himself to eat with them, in their kitchens? Monique Eleb, Sociologist, Professor a the 'École Nationale supérieure d’architecture'* in Paris (*French Public Higher Education Establishment for Architecture) "The average size of our homes has not grown. Optimising the use of space is thus a priority." Although homes are no larger, the number of appliances we use is multiplying. To save space, domestic appliances have to become more functional, smaller and more convenient. This is the decade of the microcomputer, the first game consoles and ergonomic household appliances… Tefal continues to diversify its activities and spreads to other rooms in the house. The brand launches kitchen scales and offers simple, practical new appliances such as irons. Tefal launches its Supergliss steam iron (marketed in France under the Calor brand) with a soleplate made of Durilium, a new coating that eliminates scratches, dirt build-up and stickiness. This small, practical, mass-market appliance makes ironing more accessible. Tefal launches “Ingenio”, a range of kitchen utensils with an ingenious system of removable handles which facilitates storage. In the mid-1980s, Apple launches the Macintosh, one of the first micro- computers aimed at the general public. Its single-box design emphasises user-friendliness, style and compactness. Tt is an immediate commer- cial hit, and its success inspires a wide range of products. Perla Servan-Schreiber, author of “Le Bonheur de cuisiner" (“The Joy of Cooking”) "When I get home after a day at work, I feel a profound need to start cooking. It’s my way of leaving behind the world of appearances and recharging my batteries." More and more people enjoy “home” cooking: 94% of French people see cooking a meal as a source of pleasure and fulfilment, while only 6% see it as a necessity or a burden. Cooking lessons are over- subscribed, cookery books fly off the shelves and everyone wants to get into the kitchen! Tefal supports beginner chefs by continuing to offer products that make it simple to prepare good food and get perfect results… In 2000, Tefal creates a new innovation for its frying pans: the Thermo-Spot. This heat indicator changes its aspect depending on the temperature of the pan. With this new tool, cooks can now see when the pan has reached the right temperature. Cooking has never been so simple, even for beginners! During the 1990s, the BBC launches one of the first reality TV shows dedicated to cooking: MasterChef. Adapted in over 40 countries, the concept announces a new golden age of TV cooking and revives a fascination with the culinary arts! Oprah Winfrey, one of the most influential women in the world, posts a photo of herself with a T-fal Actifry "This machine… Tefal* Actifry has changed my life. And they’re not paying me to say it." The aspiration to eat a healthy, balanced diet has never been so strong. Campaigns to raise awareness are everywhere, organic labels are increasingly popular and people are flocking to sign up for vegetable boxes. Consumers worldwide want to enjoy their food while favouring a healthier diet. Tefal takes these concerns on board and launches its revolutionary fryer Actifry… The new family-format fryer ActiFry enables anyone who loves their food to prepare fries and other meals with just one spoonful of oil! Supplied with a book of recipes overflowing with practical dietary tips, this versatile appliance can also be used for more elaborate recipes. In 2010, Tefal* is named Brand of the Decade in Japan by the Nikkei Business Publications Brand Consulting firm, beating 1500 other local and foreign brands. In 2010, Michelle Obama launches a national anti- obesity campaign called Let’s Move!, inviting Americans to exercise more and eat more healthily. * Sold under the brand name T-Fal in certain countries Ludovic Le Moan, founder of the Sigfox company. "The Internet of Things probably represents an even bigger source of business opportunities than the Internet itself in its day." Most domestic appliances are now “connected” – you can use your smartphone to control your soup cooking, the drying of your clothes and the watering of your plants. A multi-purpose remote control for the home, the smartphone enables household appliances to be fully optimised. Their features are multiplied and adapt perfectly to the needs of every member of the family. Following Cookeo Connect and Actifry Smart, Tefal will be launching connected products in almost all categories in the coming years. Products designed to make consumers’ lives easier and achieve optimum results. According to a study by GfK, two billion connected objects will be sold in France by 2020, when every home will have on average 30 connected objects. Dickson Despommier, microbiologist, "The best way of feeding everybody in the next 50 years is to produce food where most of us live – in cities." The planet has over nine billion inhabitants, of whom 80% now live in cities. To feed all these mouths, the agricultural model has been turned upside down. More and more city-dwellers are taking back responsibility for food production, cultivating fruit and vegetables at home. This gives them the benefit of fresh, healthy produce all year round. We can imagine multi-purpose machines that will be used to cultivate, process and prepare home-grown food. The whole food chain could thus be incarnated in a single domestic appliance that would take the food from harvest to plate. According to the FAO (the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization), 800 million city-dwellers worldwide already practise urban agriculture in their kitchens, on their balconies or on the shared roofs of their buildings. This figure is set to triple by 2050. Bruno Maisonnier, former director of Aldebaran Robotics "The most important role for robots will be to act as sensitive, benevolent companions who will improve our daily lives. They will give us joy, surprise us constantly and help us to progress." Domestic robots are reaching unprecedented levels of precision – and every home can now own a robot assistant worthy of NASA! In the kitchen, the robot takes over from our arms to handle pans and ladles. Completely devoted, it devises advanced menus every bit as good as our grandmothers’ cooking! Engineers working for NASA have already created two robotic arms suspended above a cooker that can reproduce the movements of a professional chef very precisely. The robot can choose its utensils, stir the soup, adjust the temperature, add spices… According to the researchers, a robot like this could be available to the public at an affordable price within about ten years. According to the analysts at Grand View Research, 18 million domestic service robots will be sold in 2020. This number should rise by 20% a year from then on. Niall Firth, journalist for New Scientist "Developments in electronic interfaces controlled by the brain are advancing at breakneck speed. The next stage will be controlling an iPad with thought alone. From there, the prospects are infinite!" Now well developed, brain- computer interfaces (BCIs) make it possible to control everything – not with a phone or a remote control, but directly with our brains! We put on virtual reality headsets, wear sensors directly linked to the cortex (or even electrodes implanted in the brain) and control all the appliances in our homes with the power of the mind alone! A new generation of appliances is emerging. From the comfort of the sofa, the user can activate the iron in the laundry room, visualise the pile of clean clothes and operate the iron remotely using robot arms to do the work. All that’s left is to put the clean clothes away! Professor Bin He at the University of Minnesota has already successfully flown a thought-controlled drone in 2013, using sensors placed on the subject’s head. The success of the experiment convinced him that within 30 years it will be possible to control most appliances using the senses.

Od prvog ispitivanja koje je proveo Marc Grégoire krajem 1950-tih, Tefal je stalno napredovao. Danas je Tefal svjetski vođa, ne samo u vidu tava s neprianjajućim slojem koje su njegov najpoznatiji proizvod pušten u prodaju 1956. nego i u vidu mnogih drugih proizvoda za kuhanje i malih električnih uređaja. Recept za uspjeh je neprekidno uvođenje inovacija. Tefal je oduvijek slušao svoje kupce i predviđao promjene u njihovom načinu života kako bi im mogao ponuditi proizvode u skladu s njihovim potrebama. Tefal je držao korak s dvije ključne pojave. Ulogakuhinje u domu potpuno se promijenila. Postala je središnje mjesto za cijelu obitelj, mjesto gdje se svi okupljaju, razgovaraju i dočekuju goste. U isto vrijeme, naš odnos s hranom doživio je duboku preobrazbu.Priprema obroka više nije naporna – kuhanje je postalo ugodan doživljaj. Danas Tefal proizvodi 50 milijuna proizvoda, a brend je prisutan u više od 120 zemalja. Tefal želi ostati simbol inovacija i predviđati razvoj koji će unijeti revoluciju u kućanstva kako bi osmislio kućanske potrepštine u budućnosti. Tehnološki razvoj i očekivanja potrošača pružaju nam uvid u neke uzbudljive novosti: povezana kuhinja, korisnička podrška, trend sve zdravije hrane, naprednija robotika...U svim tim područjima Tefal priprema iznenađenja. "Tefal želi ostati simbol inovacija i predviđati razvoj koji će unijeti revoluciju u kućanstva." Colette Grégoire, supruga Tefalova izumitelja "Ako je tvoj PTFE uistinu sjajan kako tvrdiš, upotrijebi ga za nešto korisno. Napravi mi tavu za koju se mlijeko neće lijepiti!" Gospodarstvo je u razvoju, potrošnja je doživjela veliki porast, a nove ikone pravo su osvježenje. Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly are inspiring a model of femininity focused on pleasure and freedom. In all fields, there is a determination to break free from the constraints of the past and embrace a modern, relaxed lifestyle. This is the background against which Marc Grégoire, a French engineer, is preparing to revolutionise the daily lives of cooks everywhere… "Marc Grégoire patentira svoju “tavu s neprianjajućim slojem 1954. godine. Njegov inovativni koncept temelji se na postupku oblaganja aluminijske ploče materijalom PTFE koji je obrađen klorovodičnom otopinom. Rezultat je tava za koju se ništa ne lijepi i s kojom kuhanje postaje jednostavno i ugodno." Marc Grégoire otvara svoju prvu tvornicu u Sarcellesu u Parizu i odabire naziv brendaTefal.Njegova tvornica proizvodi 100 tava dnevno tijekom prve godine. "Nova modna ikona Jackie Kennedy fotografirana je 1961. godine na izlazu njujorške trgovine s Tefalovom tavom u ruci." Slika je objavljena diljem svijeta, a brend je dobio međunarodnu prepoznatljivost. Terence Conran, engleski dizajner "Kuhinja više nije prostorija u kojoj se sastajemo zbog potrebe, nego radi užitka." "Kuhinja je postala žila kucavica doma za cijelu obitelj.U njoj se okupljamo za doručkom, čavrljamo za ručkom i dočekujemo goste navečer.U mnogim zemljama, prevladao je koncept otvorene kuhinje i dnevnog boravka." Tefal proširuje asortiman proizvoda i ulazi na tržište malih kućanskih uređaja. Godine 1968., SEB koji će uskoro postati grupacija SEB, svjetski vođa na području male kućanske opreme kupuje Tefal i njegovih pet europskih podružnica. Tefalova stručnost, uključujući neprianjajuće obloge koji su postali zaštitni znak tvrtke, odsad se primjenjuje na proizvode drugih brendova u grupaciji. Budući da se pokret za empancipaciju žena širi u većini razvijenih zemalja, oglašivači koriste tu temu kako bi istaknuli kako žene mogu uštedjeti vrijeme upotrebom novih električnih uređeja. Bernard Loiseau, francuski kuhar (3 Michelinove zvjezdice) "Stol je savršeno mjesto za opuštanje i druženje!" Dočekivanje gostiju nikada nije bilo tako ugodno. Iako se tradicija nedjeljnog ručka urušava, stvaraju se nove prilike za uživanje u obrocima s prijateljima, bilo da su obični ili svečani.Marende i užine jedu se s članovima obitelji ili prijateljima za kuhinjskim stolom ili u dnevnom boravku. Stol nije samo mjesto za međusobnu komunikaciju. Tefal odgovara stvaranjem linije proizvoda posvećene ugošćivanju… S raclett grillom s posudom od neprianjajućeg sloja (1975), i električkim set za fondue (1990), Tefal ulaže u novi način zajedničkog blagovanja: u pripremu obroka izravno za stolom, uz naglasak na zabavu. "Tefal radi s turističkim stručnjacima, vlasnicima restorana i siranama kako bi sir raclette iz Savoje predstavio široj publici. Zahvaljujući Tefalovu uređaju, sir raclette doživljava prekogranični uspon i roštilj za raclette postaje ključan dodatak za zimske obroke." "Čak i predsjednik uživa u obroku s prijateljimal! Novoizabrani predsjednik Francuske Valéry Giscard d’Estaing 1975. godine odlučuje se susresti sa svojim ""običnim građanima"". Pozvao se na jelo u njihove kuhinje, jer ne postoji bolji način zabave!" "Monique Eleb, sociologinja, profesorica na sveučilištu ""École Nationale supérieure d’architecture""* u Parizu (*Francusko javno sveučilište za arhitekturu)" "Prosječna veličina naših domova nije narasla. Stoga optimizacija prostora postaje prioritet." Iako naši domovi više nisu veliki, broj uređaja koje koristimo samo raste.Kućanski su uređaji radi uštede prostora postali funkcionalniji, manji i praktičniji. Ovo je desetljeće mikroračunala, prvih igraćih konzola i ergonomskih kućanskih uređaja... Tefal nastavlja s različitim aktivnostima i širi se na druge prostorije u domu. Brend u prodaju pušta kuhinjske vage i nudi jednostavne, praktične nove uređaje kao što su glačala. Tefal u prodaju pušta glačalo na paruSupergliss (prodavalo se u Francuskoj u okviru brenda Calor) s podlogom od durilijuma, nove obloge koja sprečava ogrebotine, nakupljanje nečistoće i lijepljenja. Taj mali, praktični uređaj koji se masovno prodaje na tržištu čini glačanje pristupačnijim. Tefal u prodaju pušta“Ingenio”,liniju kuhinjskih potrepština s genijalnim sustavom odvojivih ručki koji olakšava odlaganje. Sredinom 1980-tih Apple proizvodi Macintosh, jedno od prvih mikroračunala osmišljeno za široku javnost. Dizajn jedne kutije naglašava jednostavnu upotrebu, stil i kompaktnost. Odmah postaje komercijalni hit, a njegov uspjeh nadahnjuje niz proizvoda. Perla Servan-Schreiber, autorica knjige “Le Bonheur de cuisiner" (“Radost kuhanja”) "Kad dođem kući nakon napornog dana na poslu, osjećam duboku potrebu za kuhanjem. Na taj način zaboravljam posao i punim svoje baterije." Sve više ljudi uživa u kuhanju doma: 94% Francuza kuhanje smatra izvorom zadovoljstva i ispunjenja, dok ga samo 6 % smatra potrebom ili naporom. Tečajevi kuhanja pretrpani su, kuharice se prodaju kao lude jer se svi žele baciti na kuhanje! "Tefal podržava početnike u kuhanju osmišljavanjem proizvoda koji pojednostavljuju pripremu dobre hrane i postizanje dobrih rezultata…" Tefal pokreće novu inovaciju u području svojih tava : Thermo-Spot.Pokazatelj topline mijenja svoj izgled ovisno o temperaturi tave. Pomoću tog novog alata, kuhari mogu vidjeti kada je tava postigla idealnu temperaturu. Kuhanje nikada nije bilo jednostavnije, čak ni za početnike! Tijekom 1990-tih, BBC pokreće jednu od prvi televizijskih reality emisija posvećenu kuhanju: MasterChef. Koncept emisije koji je prilagođen u više od 40 zemalja označava novo zlatno doba televizijskog kuhanja i pokreće oduševljenje kulinarskom umjetnošću! Oprah Winfrey, jedna od najutjecajnijih žena na svijetu objavila je fotografiju sebe i uređaja T-fal Actifry "Taj aparat…T-Fal Actifry promijenio je moj život. I ne plaćaju mi da to kažem." Potreba za zdravom hranom i uravnoteženom prehranom nikada nije bila izraženija. Kampanje za podizanje osviještenosti niču posvuda, organska hrana nevjerojatno je popularna, a ljudi čekaju u redu za kupnju povrća. Potrošači diljem svijeta žele uživati u hrani i pritom se zdravo hraniti. Tefal u obzir uzima te trendove i u prodaju pušta revolucionarnu fritezu Actifry… Nova obiteljska fritezaActiFry svim ljubiteljima hrane omogućuje da pripremaju prženu hranu i ostale obroke uz samo jednu žlicu ulja! Taj svestrani uređaj isporučuje se s knjižicom recepata punom praktičnih savjeta o prehrani i može se koristiti i za složenije recepte. Tvrtka Nikkei Business Publications Brand Consulting 2010. proglasila je T-fal brendom desetljeća u Japanu, pri čemu je pobijedio više od 1500 lokalnih i stranih brendova. Michelle Obama 2010. pokreće nacionalnu kampanju protiv pretilosti pod nazivom"Pokrenimo se" u kojoj poziva Amerikance da vježbaju i hrane se zdravije. “Kolekcija T-fal ingenio nevjerojatna je! Poklopci se slažu! Genius! #clicktocook” “@TefalUK Moj Fresh Express je najbolja stvar koja postoji. Obožavam ga.” “@johnlewisretail @TefalUK, pogledajte što Cuisine Companion može napraviti… obožavam svoj Cuisine Companion :)” “Imam ovaj uređaj. http://optigrill.tefal.co.uk/ Mesu daje sjajan okus. Ako ste i vi ljubitelj mesa, morate imati ovaj uređaj. #gadget” “Uistinu sam zadovoljna s novim Tefalovim proizvodom! Večeras pripremam govedinu Bourguignon i juhu od luka” “Stvarno sam sretna što imam ovaj nevjerojatni uređaj Cook4Me od @TefalUK koji će napraviti večeru umjesto mene.” “@Tefal Pro Express ima veći pritisak pare od kućnog glačala na paru. Obožavam završni dodir koji daje mojim krojačkim izmjenama!” Ludovic Le Moan, osnivač tvrtke Sigfox. "Internet stvari danas vjerojatno predstavlja još veći izvor poslovnih prilika od samog interneta." Većina kućanskih uređaja sada je “povezana”: pametnim telefonom možete kontrolirati kuhanje juhe, sušenje odjeće i zalijevanje biljaka. Višenamjenski daljinski upravljač za dom, pametni telefon, omogućuje potpunu optimizaciju kućanskih uređaja.Njihove značajke umnožavaju se i savršeno prilagođavaju potrebama svakog člana obitelji. Nakon proizvodaCookeo Connect i Actifry SmartTefal će u prodaju pustiti povezane proizvode u gotovo svim kategorijama tijekom narednih godina. Proizvode koji su osmišljeni da olakšaju život potrošačima i postignu najbolje rezultate. Prema istraživanju koje je proveo GfK, očekuje se da će se samo u Francuskoj prodati milijarda povezanih uređaja do 2020, kada će svaki dom u prosjeku imati 30 povezanih uređaja. Dickson Despommier, mikrobiolog, "Najbolji način za prehranjivanje svih u sljedećih 50 godina jest proizvodnja hrane ondje gdje većina nas živi: u gradovima." Planet ima više od devet milijardi stanovnika, pri čemu 80 % živi u gradovima. Poljoprivredni model skroz se preokrenuo kako bi se sva ta usta uspjela nahraniti. Sve više stanovnika gradova preuzima odgovornost za proizvodnju hrane, uzgajajući povrće i voće kod kuće. Na taj način imaju svježe, zdravo voće i povrće tijekom cijele godine. Možemo zamisliti višenamjenske uređaje koji će se koristiti za uzgoj, obradu i pripremu hrane uzgojene u kućanstvima. Cijeli lanac hrane mogao bi se ujediniti u jednom kućanskom uređaju koji bi hranu obrađivao od berbe do tanjura. Prema organizaciji FAO (Organizacija za hranu i poljoprivredu Ujedinjenih naroda), 800 milijuna stanovnika gradova diljem svijeta prakticira urbanu poljoprivredu u svojim kuhinjama, na balkonima ili zajedničkim krovovima zgrada. Ta će se brojka utrostručiti do 2050. godine. Bruno Maisonnier, bivši direktor tvrtke Aldebaran Robotics """Najvažnija uloga robota bit će da se ponašaju kao osjećajni i dobronamjerni prijatelji koji će poboljšati naš svakodnevni život. Obradovat će nas, neprekidno iznenađivati i pomoći nam da napredujemo." Kućanski roboti postigli su nevjerojatnu razinu preciznosti, a svaki dom odsad može imati robotskog pomoćnika koji se može usporediti s NASA-inim robotima! U kuhinji robot zamjenjuje naše ruke i rukuje tavama i kuhačama. Beskrajno je posvećen i savladava napredne jelovnike koji su dobri poput bakine kuhinje! Inženjeri koji rade za NASA-u već su stvorili dvije robotske ruke iznad kuhala koje mogu vrlo precizno reproducirati pokrete profesionalnih kuhara. Robot može odabrati posuđe, miješati juhu, promijeniti temperaturu, dodavati začine… Istraživači kažu da bi takav robot mogao biti dostupan za javnost po pristupačnoj cijeni za desetak godina. Prema analitičarima iz organizacije Grand View Research, 18 milijuna kućanskih uslužnih robota prodat će se 2020. godine. Ta bi brojka trebala rasti za 20 % svake godine nakon toga. Niall Firth, novinar New Scientista "Razvoj elektroničkih sučelja kojima se upravlja mozgom napreduje nevjerojatnom brzinom. Sljedeća faza bit će kontroliranje iPada samom snagom uma. A nakon toga, mogućnosti nemaju granica!" Sučelja mozak-računalo (BCI) već su dobro razvijena i omogućuju kontrolu svega, ne pomoću telefona ili daljinskog upravljača, nego pomoću mozga! Stavimo slušalice za virtualnu stvarnost, senzore koji su izravno povezane s korteksom (ili čak elektrode ugrađene u mozak) i kontroliramo sve uređaje u našim domovima samo pomoću snage uma! Nastaje nova generacija uređaja. Korisnik iz udobnosti kauča može aktivirati glačalo u drugoj prostoriji, vizualizirati gomilu čiste odjeće i daljinski upravljati glačalom pomoću robotskih ruku. I preostaje mu samo spremiti čistu odjeću! Profesor Bin He sa Sveučilišta u Minnesoti već je uspješno letio umno kontroliranim dronom 2013. godine. koristeći senzore koji su postavljeni na glavu subjekta. Uspjeh eksperimenta uvjerio ga je da će za 30 godina biti moguće kontrolirati većinu uređaja pomoću senzora.
