    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • The present invention will be described by way of exemplary embodiments, but not limitations, illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which like references denote similar elements, and in which:
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a front perspective view of a technology kitchen surface, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.
    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIVE EMBODIMENTS
  • Various aspects of the illustrative embodiments will be described using terms commonly employed by those skilled in the art to convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced with only some of the described aspects. For purposes of explanation, specific numbers, materials and configurations are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the illustrative embodiments. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without the specific details. In other instances, well-known features are omitted or simplified in order not to obscure the illustrative embodiments.
  • Various operations will be described as multiple discrete operations, in turn, in a manner that is most helpful in understanding the present invention. However, the order of description should not be construed as to imply that these operations are necessarily order dependent. In particular, these operations need not be performed in the order of presentation.
  • The phrase “in one embodiment” is utilized repeatedly. The phrase generally does not refer to the same embodiment, however, it may. The terms “comprising”, “having” and “including” are synonymous, unless the context dictates otherwise.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a front perspective view of a technology kitchen surface 100, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. The technology kitchen surface 100 allows a user to utilize one or more technological devices on a kitchen surface such as a countertop or that allows a user to utilize one or more computerized devices such as a tablet computer or other suitable computerized devices that supports Bluetooth or Wi-Fi related technology.
  • 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.
