All of the above are already available, LG has a bar code enable Ref, that scans the bar code, accesses the mfg. data base for the use by date and checks to see if the product is under recall. It also builds a shopping list. In addition you can add items to the data base by scanning in none ref. items that reside in your pantry. It will estimate consumption based on multiple scans of the same item, and give you a projected time to empty for you next purchase. You get a TXT informing you that you will run out of Special K and POP Tarts just after your next trip to the store. It is only available in Japan and Korea at the moment but will be here soon.

Yes, this does sound like a ridiculous question, but I can see it being posted in the future. Samsung is making a fridge with three cameras inside. Yes, three cameras inside. They are Bluetooth and will send images of what's inside to you smartphone. No more opening the door and staring inside, wishing there was something good in there.
Ah, progress!
Ah, progress!
I will have to illuminate the phrase "close the refrigerator door", from my vocabulary. My five children use to spend hours deciding on want they wanted with the door wide open

There is a phrase sometimes used in cooking classes which covers these kind of things "over chefing". It kinda means doing something because we can, not because it makes it better..

A 988 would have been much more suitable!
Just because he was big doesn't mean we needed a 988, a 950 would have been sufficient.

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Next they'll put them in the bathroom tissue holder so we can make sure we don't run out! If someone really needs their refrigerator to tell them when it's time to restock, they're gonna starve anyway 'cause they're probably too dumb to cook for themselves.
Yes, it's completely ridiculous! Those "Smart people" should use their talent to create some thing beneficial to human being, they made this nonsense just for profit! Just like on the other post talking about the camera phone will take over DSLR. It's ridiculous! They may say that camera phone may take over Hubble space telescope for take picture of the space!!

... I want a camera that can tell me when the food is going bad.
Just do like the kids do - when it comes up to the "best used by date" - throw it out...

Hmmm. Frig cams. I already have enough trouble packing my equipment in my go bag!!

It has been noted by my friends that I am a gadget freak.....
I draw the "line" at cameras in refrigerators ....
Something on the order of a camera in a toilet.
I really do not like knowing Everything. I like a surprise from time to time.

How about that if you run out of food the refrigerator will order them for you, and the store will delivery to your door step! It makes people lazy and lazier!

I am an EE by trade, and I love all things electronic, but this is really over the top. Early on in my life I had a mentor who worked on the Talos Missile project for the Navy, he would never own any thing that had an electronic control and he hated the micro processer. He would always say someday ever #$%^& one of those $%^&* will just stop working and the whole world will be back in the dark ages. He drove his 1969 Dodge Pickup until he died, he never had on automated device in his home. Not sure what he would have thought of this.

Something else to add to the cost of a new refrigerator. I bought a new LG a couple of years ago that cost more than my 1966 Mustang did when I bought it new! I just can't imagine why anyone would really need to use their smartphone to see what's in the refrig!

How long could such a canera be inside before those green thing start growing on the lens.

Who repairs such a thing, have you ever had experience with your average appliance repair person???
