An interactive restaurant has been opened in Los Angeles, where everybody communicates via computer. The establishment with the name uWink has appeared last weekend in the Hollywood & Highland mall.

The "Interactive way to have a lunch", that has been created by Nolan Bushnell - the founder of the Atari company that stood at the very beginning of the contemporary video games. They tell that Leonardo di Caprio will act as Bushnell in a Hollywood biographic movie.

There are no waiters here, only the individual sensor screens - one per each participant of the lunch - what means that the dishes ordering process does not really differ from ordering of products at the Amazon web-site, except that the delivery lasts minutes, not days. To satisfy the fastidious American clients, each order can be individual - for example "homemade salad without tomatoes, sauce, greens, but with a cheeseburger and fried potatoes, thank you".

But the main feature of this - are the entertainment possibilities that are offered on the sensor screens. You can play computer games with your table neighbors, watch movies, read newspapers and magazines.

If you don't want to sit at the table, you can get seated near a huge sensor screen that is called iBar, where you can play "pong", draw electronic images and order martini. In other words, you can engage all your feelings, not suffering from the necessity to look at your table neighbors and of course you don't have to lead tiring conversations with them, tells a journalist of a British newspaper.

The columnist also notes that such a restaurant should have been opened in any way. uWunk is a logical evolution of a tendency that is typical for the generation of the "social networks" generation that has turned breakfasts, diners and suppers into a redundant occasion for participation in senseless interactive fuzz. This arouses anxiety, because if we experience a long-term electricity fallout, we could not be able to feed ourselves. And we won't be able to ask for help, because verbal communication will be out of date exactly as got outdated the smoke signals.
