Here's a headline: The Xbox Series X mini fridge is a real thing — here’s how to preorder it This comes from CNN — Still hunting down an Xbox Series X? Well, that’s probably not getting easier anytime soon, but you can at least buy a mini fridge that looks just like it. Once a viral internet meme, the $99 Xbox Mini Fridge is now a very real product you can pre-order right now from Target before it arrives in December — just in time for staying caffeinated during long Halo Infinite sessions.
How did I find out about this? It was in the Google top trending searches - it got 100,000 searches. I guess fridges are popular. What else is going on in fridge-land?
Here's another article: "If it’s just a matter of time before all households have a camera in their fridges, let’s hope our condiments don’t get SnapChat accounts."
And this one: "Ever since the early days of science fiction, we’ve dreamed of gadgets that speak to us. And now we’re on the cusp of having this technology in our homes. By 2030, you’ll be able to use all your kitchen appliances with voice commands (as long as you remember to actually put the food in them first)."
On to more trends: "In 2030, if Samsung and LG have anything to do with it, your future home will include a separate fridge for your vegetables and herbs which regulates light and growing conditions so you can enjoy the produce you love all year-round, that's even if you have a brown thumb as the system ensures optimal growing conditions so you basically cannot muck it up. Naturally it all syncs up to an app so that you can order seeds, keep tabs of how your plantings are growing and even join a produce community so you'll feel like you're part of a movement."
You can even find out about the fridge of 2050. Last month the University of London hosted 2050: Fridge of the Future. Refrigeration of all kinds is responsible for 10 percent of global energy use, so this is an important topic. "The convention was aimed at bringing likeminded parties together who share an interest in the future of large white goods and to respond to questions such as: What will white goods in the future look like? How will they be shaped by evolving demand, environment and new technologies? What impact will this have on product safety and future-ready regulation?"
