# Equality-Encouraging Dishware The Smart Dish System Singles Out Who Does the Dishes More By Michael Hines | Published 2011-08-11 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-dish-system References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/smart-dish-system-by-jeongmi-lee/) & [dtalkers.blogspot](http://dtalkers.blogspot.com/) Arguments over who does the dishes more may become a thing of the past if the Smart Dish System ever goes from concept to reality. Jeongmi Lee designed this quirky [dish set](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thermal-serving-dish) which tracks who does the dishes more using [RFID tags and Bluetooth technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gptea-set). The chips track who is doing the dishes and logs the data into a specially designed dining room table that features a built-in electromagnet. The table then moves the dishes (and the food inside of them) closer to whoever does them more. While the system seems a little too complicated to create, I do like the idea behind it. The concept encourages couples to [share household duties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chore-tracking) in a non-confrontational and fun way. You can see a video of Jeongmi Lee's Smart Dish System in action here. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Smart-dish Technology:** The concept of using RFID tags and Bluetooth technology to track and log household chores presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in home automation. - **Equal Distribution:** The idea of promoting equal distribution of household duties through innovative tracking systems can lead to disruptive innovation in relationship dynamics and gender equality. - **Gamification of Chores:** The integration of technology and gamification elements in household chores can create disruptive innovation by making mundane tasks more engaging and enjoyable. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Automation:** The smart-dish system's use of RFID tags and Bluetooth technology suggests disruptive innovation opportunities in the home automation industry. - **Relationship Counseling:** Promotion of equal distribution of household duties through technology can create disruptive innovation opportunities in the relationship counseling industry. - **Edutainment:** The gamification of household chores presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the edutainment industry by combining education and entertainment elements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Portable Handheld Dishwasher](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automated-portable-handheld-dishwasher.md) - [Dishwasher-Loading Humanoids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/figure-02.md) - [Food Vendor Plate Sanitizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-disinfecting-system.md) - [Equitable Chore Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pairwork.md) - [14-Person AI Dishwashers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dishwasher-1.md) - [Powerful Next-Gen Dishwashers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powercontrol.md) - [Mess-Avoiding Dipping Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dipidup.md) - [Entry-Level Countertop Dishwashers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bugu-dishwasher.md) - [RFID-Enabled Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/checkpoint-systems.md)
