Barcode Reading Refrigerators
We've mentioned barcode reading microwaves, but what about refrigerators with barcode reading technology? Korea's LG Electronics offers a refrigerator with a computer brain and a barcode scanner that tracks the status of your groceries. It is Internet ready and can send you an email when you're out of eggs. LG Electronics also offers a refrigerator with a built-in LCD TV for watching your favorite shows (or maybe just keeping your kids entertained) while you're fixing dinner. According to an article at CNN.com, these smart refrigerators may not be ready for the mainstream.
