Yeah, we’ve been tracking the Internet of Shit. But bizarro “Internet of Things” really hit fever pitch this week at CES, where everything is connected — including this camera-equipped fridge for those times when actually opening the door is just too much effort. Just because we can wire something up doesn’t mean we should. And I’m fairly confident the market will prove folks are looking for meaningful solutions that add value and reduce effort (without breaking the bank). Pretty sure a disposable Bluetooth smartphone-linked pregnancy test isn’t what Al Gore had in mind.

It's not connected to the Internet, but this robotic grill cleaner deserves an honorable mention.

Hey, I could use a robot to scrub my grill!
The Bluetooth pregnancy test is...really not necessary. However, the Samsung fridge with the cameras is actually a decent idea. You can remind yourself what's in your fridge while you're out. Next step: the fridge makes an inventory of all food via camera, barcodes, weight, smell, etc. It'll happen!
Let me know when you buy one... ;)
