Re: I dunno...

"- Fridge: requires a thermostat and a little switch to turn the light on. Many fridges now have a frost-free feature that presumably relies on some kind of timer. I don't suppose anyone is perverse enough to be nostalgic about freezer defrosting."

Many fridges already have a little alarm that beeps if some naughty child has the door open too long. A temp alarm ? An internet connection would allow the fridge to email you saying "I'm getting too warm". A bar code reader would be nice, it could note when you put something in there and let you know when its past use by date.

I am sure I could think of more if I was feeling silly enough......
