When it comes to technology, you will feel that it is very mysterious, as if it only exists in the laboratories of scientists and in various cutting-edge products.

In fact, this is not the case. Technology is all around us, and our daily necessities of life are inseparable from technology.

"Food is the most important thing for people." Today I will take "eating" as an example to tell you about the technology around us.

With technology, humans will not go hungry.

Why do you say this way?

As we all know, the world's population is increasing day by day, but the cultivated land area is decreasing year by year.

The food problem is a big problem!

However, Yuan Longping, the "father of hybrid rice", solved this world problem.

The hybrid rice he cultivated using the basic laws of genetics has yields from 400 kilograms per mu to 600 kilograms and then to 800 kilograms, which is breathtaking and has brought good news to mankind. It is known as the "Oriental Magic Rice."

Isn’t this the “magic” of technology?

Technology makes the human table richer.

I heard from my mother that it used to be very unusual for dishes from all four seasons to appear on the table at the same time.

However, with the popularization of greenhouse growing technology, it is now easy to eat vegetables from other seasons.

In the past, it was an anecdote for northerners to want to taste tropical fruits, so the story of "a concubine riding on a red dusty horse laughed, but no one knew it was lychee" has been passed down to this day.

Now, with the improvement of food storage technology and the increase of food transportation speed, ordinary people can also have the "taste blessing" of Yang Guifei!

With the continuous improvement of living standards, people are no longer satisfied with more monotonous food, so food processing technology emerged as the times require.

Food processing is to use some edible things as raw materials to make more delicious or nutritious food through scientific and technological means.

For example: my favorite ham sausage is made with livestock and poultry meat as the main raw material, supplemented by fillers, and then added with condiments, spices and other substances, and is made by pickling, chopping (or emulsification), high-temperature cooking and other processing techniques.

It is made, fresh, tender, refreshing and easy to eat.

There are many types of food processing, such as condiment processing, fruit product processing, aquatic product processing, dairy product processing, soy product processing, vegetable product processing... which satisfy human beings' pursuit of delicious food to the maximum extent.

Technology has also “armed” our kitchens.

Various kitchen appliances such as rice cookers, microwave ovens, ovens, induction cookers, and juicers have entered every household one after another, making it easier for people to cook delicious meals in a variety of ways.

This is the change in “eating” that technology has brought to people.
