OK, enough with the Internet-connected refrigerator already. That appliance is becoming a reality, what with Samsung and its smart fridge. But it also leaves a lot to be desired as an example of the Internet of Things, the idea that network connections will spread to anything with a power cord and even to a lot of things without one. The big problem: convincing you that you might actually want one. It's no coincidence the Internet-connected fridge has been a tech industry joke for years.
Can't wait for the high tech Ice Chest. Ya know , maybe some kind of program that makes it's own ice, then grinds it, fills the solo cup, and pops the soda can and pours it for you.........because
life has become too busy to deal with an uice chest. Then you can post a picture on facebook of your autaunimous Ice Chest.
