I just saw a TV commercial for Samsung's new smart refrigerator. It's full of electronic gadgets including 3 little interior cameras. Say you're at the grocery store and need to check if you need milk (or beer). Presto. Access it with your smartphone.
Aside from the fact that I don't think I want to spend $6000 on a refrigerator it's another step backwards in taking personal responsibility.
I can remember the day when we had to remember what to buy. And dammitt, you didn't expect extras at a strip club. .

I remember seeing YEARS ago a fridge that kept track of your food and auto ordered from the grocery store as you used items up! Now THAT is a fridge!

that requires world unity. So far we have agreed not to use space as a battle field.

That's nothing.
I remember when Rech and Juice only had one user name each.

I invented a phone that flashed red when there was an incoming call, so that deaf people would know they had a call. Didn't catch on.

That sounds like a cool idea. I doubt I'd ever use it. I think we are on camera enough these days - no need to add cameras to my fridge.

I open the fridge, write down what I need on a piece of paper. There I just saved $6,000 to blow on other useless stuff. Then I usually forget the piece of paper and just wing it. After all, what else do you need other than Chackin Fangers, Beer and Ketchup in your fridge anyway?

Now if those cameras could tell me who has been stealing my beer, it might be worth it.

I have little notepads I get at the store for like 4 for $1. I make notes on random stuff including a grocery list. Yes I could use the notepad app on my phone but I prefer pen and paper. Last thing I need is someone spying on me every time I open the fridge door.
