Week 2.Step 3.

From gadgets of the past, which are popular to this day, I chose the 

Electric Kettle. I was interested to find out what my friends think of the kettle. Most of the respondents use the kettle from time to time . And not everyone thinks that it is useful. I do not know why, but many believe that the kettle should be improved. Nobody wanted to take the kettle to the desert island. The answeres to the 5th question have revealed that the kettle will be used in the future.

I believe that the kettle is a very useful thing. And in the future it will be used at 100%.

Week 2, Step 1

Electric Kettle
Arthur Leslie Large invented the electric kettle in 1922. General Electric introduced the electric kettle with an automatic cut-out in 1930.

A kettle, sometimes called tea kettle, teakettle or tea pot, is a small kitchen appliance used for boiling water in preparation for making tea or other beverages requiring hot water. Kettles often resemble teapots, but are used to boil water, not to brew tea.

Kettles can be heated either by placing on a stove, or by their own heating element.
A stovetop kettle is a roughly pitcher shaped metal (or ceramic) vessel used to heat water on a stovetop or hob. Kettles usually have a handle on top, a spout, and a lid. Sometimes stove-mounted kettles also have a steam whistle that indicates when the water has reached boiling point.

Electric kettles are normally constructed of durable plastic or steel (with a plastic handle) and powered by mains electricity. In modern designs, once the water has reached boiling, the kettle automatically deactivates to prevent the water boiling away and damaging the heating element.
The word kettle originates from Latin catillus, which in various contexts is translated as bowl, deep dish, or funnel. A kettle is probably the most ancient kind of metal cooking utensil. Common materials were wrought iron and pressed steel plate.
