Toshiba brings us closer to a time when users will be able to log onto the Net via their kitchen appliances
Japanese consumer electronics giant Toshiba is reportedly close to beginning to sell a range of Internet-enabled home appliances.
The first smart gadget to hit the shops is expected to be a Web-connected refridgerator. The fridge will keep a record of the items stored inside it. Users would be able to log onto the device when they are out of the house — perhaps from work or an Internet cafe — to find out what food they already have.
