Future Kitchen
Ah, progress. Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.
Most people forget that vending machines are not that new. The automat was a common sight in New York City a hundred years ago. Granted, the support mechanism was a bunch of people behind the scenes who stocked the thing, but if you think about it, Kubrick's is exactly the same, only the kitchen is a few hundred million miles further away.
