I hear about internet connected appliances and just wonder WHY?

Of course I said the same thing about smart phones and texting 10 years ago.

I could at least understand the concept of a text message and having a smart phone but I was cheap. I took a sip of the cool aid and was hooked since my iPhone 1.

I just can't see one single advantage to having the fridge connected to the internet. Maybe for the large families or households living in a high population area that are too lazy or busy to go to the grocery store themselves. I just can't see that for me.

Of course some of it is to make consumers feel better about spending two or three grand on a fridge. I hear most fridges have a proprietary water filter for the ice maker that cost a lot.
