Well, this might be just the start of a digital revolution in food.How about tattooed(带有纹身的) fruit, ice cubes which send text messages, and wine from the bottom of the ocean? All these things are on the horizon, according to a global innovation research firm Stylus. They say stickers and wasteful packaging on fruit could be replaced by edible(可食用的) tattoos.
