Ever see mid evolution pictures of like stupid looking monkeys with no fur and super long arms even though they're not walking on their arms anymore? And like a red butt or something because they haven't quite evolved into something cool but they're heading there? Welcome to smart refrigerators. An importantly useless step in the direction of a fantastic vision. Like when they made TV's digital and put a flat screen on them even though they were still the size of a cabinet. Or made them thin but didn't improve the resolution, or lightweight but still gigantic. Every stepping stone is needed if you want to cross a river. In 30 years fridges will be self sufficient. In 60 they will be obsolete because you'll have cloud storage for your meals with super computer kitchen warehouses preparing food for you and piping it to your house in a hybrid bank drive thru teller / indoor plumbing system. In 100 years we'll have nutrient injectors implanted in our bodies while we enjoy simulations of Eating Steak with the Kardashians, brought to you by PlantLyfe, the Google/Facebook conglomerate that invented implanted nutrients and tracks your metabolism (and thoughts) while it keeps your diet balanced with proper supplements and definitely not a thought suppressing agent to prevent uprising by people who miss the old days where you were allowed to have a fridge and cook your own meals... And it all starts today, with webcams in your fridge.
