Successful?

 

Quote

It was a commercial failure, perhaps an idea ahead of its time.

Since then innovations have focused on more immediate practical consumer needs.

How is this even news?

It's a fridge. Me like 90% of all the other people don't really give a flipping crap about the fridge itself, They care more whats inside of it.

I wouldn't consider this news at all. 

Piece of advice: Work on your posting format it's not very useful at all.

I would say if there are pictures that aren't completely huge use them.

and break up the text to important parts of it. Like whats the problem, by who, why all the sorta of stuff. break down the walls of text pretty much.

Add your opinion if you want too

Smart fridge sounds kind of random but who'd argue with something that collates your shopping list for you. You wouldn't forget anything if you needed it.

Cool (like a fridge, I've got to stop these awful jokes). I'll start applying some improvements.

dude u have made like 7 topic in the past hour

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.1 Corinthians 13:4

Didn't someone invent a smart kettle?? Which costed like £100 or something? Also, I'm not sure how safe that would be. These "Smart" ideas though. They are pretty crazy.

I'd buy some smart fly paper, if it was in actuality a tiny laser turret that would kill house flies with a laser beam.

 

Or, some sort of small robot that would seek out and kill spiders and any other insects within my house.

 

 

 

I hate insects more than anything else on this planet.

It's okay until the fridge glitches and swarms you phone with notification. Every second you find yourself out of milk. Haha. :D

Wait until it can automatically purchase whatever it deems necessary (milk is low -> buy milk online). If it glitches then, people are going to come home and find a thousand gallons of milk on the driveway and a huuuuuge bill in the mailbox

I remember when these failed big time back in the day. I'd agree they were too ahead of their time back then.

It senses when you need to get up and stands you up for you.

Anyone who has a sister hates the fact that his sister isn't Kasugano Sora.
Anyone who does not have a sister hates the fact that Kasugano Sora isn't his sister.
I'm not insulting anyone; I'm just being condescending. There is a difference, you see...
