The 'internet enabled' refrigerator. Another useless technological marvel. I guess this gives new meaning to an 'internet appliance.' How many people have bought this and placed it on a desk?

There is another refrigerator than provides an inventory system which will tell you when an item needs replacement. I suppose the old-fashioned method is no longer needed, you know, the fact the milk carton is absent, this was always an indication I needed milk. Going one step further, if you have an internet connection, it can actually order food. I foresee the day where it will not only order food, it'll fucking eat it for you too.

Is this shit really needed? Are you telling me the fridge of old is 'sooo 20th Century.'

You can order a Pizza online via the internet. The only saving grace is that you aren't placed immediately on hold after the phone is answered. They have CallerID yet still ask for your number when they get back to you.

One Pizza company offers reoccurring orders. You can have a pizza delivered every Friday at 6:00 pm. With this technology it's now possible to make everyone fucking sick of eating pizza every week. Oh Yeah, remember to cancel your order before your 2 week vacation, you could have a stack of pizza boxes on your porch for awhile. I usually have somebody check my mail when I'm away. I guess I could say 'Thank You' by keeping the order.

It saddening we can order a damn pizza via the 'net and have it brought to our door, but we can't help starving children in Africa (Shamelessly ripped from Bono). My advice, order the pizza and have it delivered to Africa, they'll get it free. It takes more than 2 hours to get there.

The big thing in the automotive industry is GPS navigation systems. I erroneously thought having a good idea of where you are going was a big help in navigation. Not so! Nope, for the price of 200 $4 maps you can have a GPS system in a car. I suppose the rationale is that having 200 maps in the back seat is not as convenient as the GPS. The product development team must have looked over the fact you only need one map.

It looks as though we humans have a fascination with using technology to provide the most stupid method for solving the simplest of tasks.

Moral: Just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should.

Do we have a fascination with technology to the point where we are simply going to evolve into fat blobs with micro-appendages to push a button? Will the McDonalds of the future simply show up at the door and shove a one inch feeding tube down our throats? What if they get the order wrong, they always do.
