The effect of technology on gender roles in the future kitchen

Course: Researching the future everyday

Team members: San San Nguyen & Wouter van der Woude

Date: June-2019

I learned that by incorporating more “masculine“
technology in the kitchen, the gender roles can change,
as this research suggested that cooking would become
more masculine by adding this artifact to the kitchen
environment.


This made me realize how future norms can be
strongly guided by the technology that I
might design in the future. For example by adding
more technical (masculine) aspects. Thus emphasizing
the importance of researching possible effect before
deploying a product in the real world.
