It's the year 2053 and the world is in chaos. The utensil industry has been turned on its head. Forks, knives, and spoons have been reduced to mere novelty items. The people have risen up, demanding a return to the simple days of 2023, when a spoon was just a spoon.
But we're not here to reminisce. We're here to tackle the real issues of 2053. Like, what happens when the last spoon breaks? Do we just... use our fingers?
It's no secret that the utensil industry has always been a behemoth. But in 2053, it's reached new heights of absurdity. Companies are producing 17 different types of spoons, each with its own unique feature and price point. It's like they're competing for our attention, and our wallets.
We'll explore this further on our sister site, SPoon-Tech Issue 4: The Great Utensil-Industrial Conspiracy.
As the utensil industry has grown, so too has our dependence on it. We're no longer just using utensils to eat. We're using them to define ourselves. "I'm a fork person," "I'm a spoon person," "I'm a knife person." It's gotten to the point where our self-worth is tied to the utensil we wield.
We'll examine this further on our podcast, The Utensilization of Society: A SPoon-Tech Special Report.
So, what's next for utensils? Will we see a return to the days of 2023, when a spoon was just a spoon? Or will we continue down the path of utensilization?
We'll have to wait and see. But one thing's for sure: the future of utensils is bright, and full of possibility.
