Michelle Grancesos is the visionary CEO of Appliance Masters Toaster Co. While taking a shower, she has a breakthrough insight into a new concept of toaster that Appliance Masters should be developing. In Michelle’s view, the toaster can take advantage of new information technology and become the brains of the kitchen. Following are some features she envisions in the New Age Toaster:
- Voice recognition, so that it can understand spoken instructions
- Voice synthesizer, so that it can speak to user
- Toasts bread
- Oven toasting capabilities to cook small items (e.g., hot dogs)
- Command center, so that it controls all kitchen appliances – the oven, the dishwasher, the range, the garbage disposal, vents, and lights.
Using the Poor Man’s Hierarchy, prioritize the features that Michelle proposes to include in her New Age Toaster.
