Useless Kitchens

"The definition of gadget would be its potential uselessness and its ludic combinatory value. … The gadget is indeed the truth of the object in consumer society. In this sense, anything can become a gadget." (Baudrillard, 1990, p.77)
“It is in fact neither its utilitarian nor its symbolic function that defines a gadget, but its LUDIC function. Our relationship to objects, people, culture, leisure, sometimes work, and even politics is increasingly governed by the ludic.” (Baudrillard, 1990, p.79)
Is it true that most of the functional things that we use in our everyday life are just only gadgets and have ludic functions? In a modern society like Britain for some lifestyles it could be true and when it is true even for a scare population then we can expect from a philosopher like Buadrillard to bring it into notes and claim it as a fact.
Kitchen in the UK is really useless for some families. Not useless useless but its function is just as an entertainment and nothing more. Every thing in a very decent quality can be purchased in ready made form at supermarkets. You don't even need a place in the kitchen to eat it because TV is the centre of the home and is "hearth".
