If you’ve known me long enough, you also know that I always love to be on top of the newest technologies. I want to be some of the first to use and become experts at these technologies. By reading this entry, you know that I blog. I tweet on Twitter. While I don’t have an iPhone (used to), I, unlike many other people, completely understand the need to read an email or check the news/sports scores on your phone while in the movie theater waiting for the previews to finish.

This latest technology at a pizza shop out in California, however, has me scratching my head: A “Pizza Cam” from Santa Clara, California-based Party Pizza pizzeria. They have 3 live cameras online so you can watch the entire pizza-making process. You order your pizza, then log in to the “Dough Cam,” “Kitchen Cam” and “Oven Cam” to watch your pizza in various stages of gestation. They have even developed a Pizza Cam app for the iPhone!

I like the idea of knowing where my food comes from, but that doesn’t generally get as specific as knowing what it looks like while the mozzarella melts. The phrase “like watching grass grow” springs to mind.

So if your local pizza shop offered this, would you use it? Do people really have enough time to order a pizza online and then watch the entire process by sitting in front of your computer? If so, I want your job!
