The technology kitchen surface 100 includes a kitchen counter surface 110, an embedded holding system 120, a technology device 130, a receiving box 140, a plurality of wires 150 and a plurality of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth components 160. The kitchen counter surface 110 includes a plurality of kitchen cabinets 112 where the kitchen counter surface 110 is disposed on top of the kitchen cabinets 112. The kitchen counter surface 110 includes an aperture 114 that can be disposed on any suitable location of the kitchen counter surface 110. The embedded holding system 120 is set within the aperture 114 and can held in a flat position parallel to the kitchen counter surface 110 or can be raised above the kitchen counter surface 110 by the embedded holding system 120. The technology device 130 is encased within the embedded holding system 120. The technology device 130 is typically a tablet computer 132 such as an IPAD™, an IPOD™, a TOUCHPAD™ or other suitable computerized or electrical device such as a personal computer 134 or personal digital assistant 136. The technology device 130 is protected with a protective touch screen 138 that protects the technology device 130 from food, drinks or other materials that may damage the technology device 130. The receiving box 140 is in communication with the technology device 130 and is disposed within the kitchen cabinets 112 and underneath the kitchen counter surface 110. The wires 150 are connected to the technology device 130 and are protected and set within the receiving box 140. The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth components 160 are connected to the wires 150 and are in communication with the technology device 130 with the wires 150. The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth components 160 can be any Wi-Fi and Bluetooth components 160 that can be disposed within the receiving box 140 such as a router and other suitable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth components 160.
The technology kitchen surface is a designated protective area that merges safe computing with interior design and introduces a suitable approach to data accessibility. The technology kitchen surface isolates a specific location on the surface of a kitchen counter as an embedded holding system for the electrical or technology device. Either flat or projected in mid-air above the counter top, the location of the electrical or technology device contains the necessary joining wires to support Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities, each housed within a receiver box. Once connected, the electrical or technology device allows the user to navigate their personal computer and/or phone to check e-mails, research cooking recipes, listen to music or any enjoy other suitable enjoyable activity without endangering the electronic or computer possible damage. The electrical or technology device can be specifically placed in ideal locations to cater to a plurality of diverse customers.
