Why Have Networked Appliances?
To answer the “why” question, below are some networked appliances and their possible applications.

Refrigerators

■When you are at the grocery shopping, you can use your PDA phone to check the contents of your fridge.
■Don’t know what to cook for dinner? Have the refrigerator scan the items in the fridge and suggest some cooking ideas. The internet connectivity will be used for downloading and updating its receipts.
■Leave notes and message reminders to family members.
■Watch streaming video using the built-in LCD screen.
■Surf the web using the built-in LCD screen.
■Listen to internet radio or music streaming from your HTPC.
■Download receipts and display them on the built-in LCD screen.
■Have the fridge automatically contact your local grocery store when you run out of a food item. The grocery store can then deliver that item to you. (… OK, this is way off in the future, but it is coming).

Micowaves

■Scan in items like frozen dinners or popcorn to get the most optimum cook time. The microwave could use the internet to download and update its list of food items.
■Download receipts.
■Use the networked connectivity to send a message to your PDA phone or computer when it’s done cooking.
■Communicate with smart refrigerators and suggest recipes based on what items are in the refrigerator.
■Automatically programs the clock (no more blinking lights when the power goes out).
