The refrigerator of the future is here!

Story here

Quote:
RALEIGH, N.C. - When John Cornwell graduated from Duke University last year, he landed a job as software engineer in Atlanta but soon found himself longing for his college lifestyle. So the engineering graduate built himself a reminder of life on campus: a refrigerator that can toss a can of beer to his couch with the click of a remote control.

O.k.... so how exactly is this useful? Doesn't it just encourage laziness?

Quote:
Is there a foam explosion when the can is opened? Not if the recipient uses "soft hands" to cradle the can when caught, Cornwell said.

Of course, if you don't catch it right... look out!

Quote:
just because it's futuristic doesn't mean that it's pratical.

What if someone accidently walked in front of it? Or you miss it? You'd get slapped in the head with a flying alluminum beer can!

((then again, if you're dumb enough to buy the refridgorator, you're not going to have much brain to protect))

This is so stupid. Next

shadowmistress; Thursday, July 19, 2007 - 13:41

This is so stupid. Next they'll make a refrigerator that opens the can, and pours it tnto an ice-filled mug before gently placing in on the silver tray in front of you. =P
Welcome to America.
All these inventions make America even MORE lazy that it already is. It's not helping our obesity problem, thats for sure. Who knows? MAybe they'll have McDonalds doing house-deliveries next. Give it a few hundred years. We will all have a chair, that does everything. It will go everywhere, connect to a toilet, become our bed, our car seat, our seat on an airplane. We will spend our entire lives in a chair getting fat and probably drunk.
For those of us who enjoy the nice walk to the fridge, let us look, laugh our butts off, and move on =)

Man, that was funny about the whole brains thing, that sounds like the stupidest thing ever... And what would you do if the kitchen wasn't close to the Tv room. Would you have to give it wheels to carry it closer!? 8O

That's what I needed to say, and I said it!
