A new addition to the Samsung line of high-tech appliances, the E-commerce enabled fridge lets users order groceries directly from its built-in LCD screen.

 

Technology is exciting and makes us happy for a variety of reasons, but one of the biggest advantages of new technology is convenience. Convenience makes our lives easier by simplifying tasks that we don’t necessarily want to spend a lot of time on. Smartphones have made our lives a lot easier with apps for just about everything, but what if you could do your grocery shopping directly from your fridge? Well, if you hate going to the grocery store, Samsung has just announced a refrigerator that you’ll want to put on your wish list.

The new E-commerce enabled refrigerator joins Samsung’s high-tech line of home appliances with all the usual bells and whistles that go along with a refrigerator, plus one extra-special feature. Samsung has partnered with E-Mart to offer users access to over 22,000 products sold by E-Mart directly from the built-in LCD screen on the front of their refrigerator. The screen will let users choose their preferred items and select a date for delivery. Sounds more efficient than that magnetic list pad that’s on your fridge now, right? The high-tech fridge should be available in the market later this month. No word yet on how much this thing will cost or when or if it will be available anywhere other than Korea, but it certainly makes us excited about the possibilities of future technology in the kitchen.

Would you use a grocery delivery service that was built into your fridge?

  3. Jeff Futzer at 9:13pm 5th October 2011 Do not need.
  4. Chris Johnson at 9:06pm 5th October 2011 Can I just pound on the "Beer" logo and have them deliver daily?
  5. Mukush Patrick at 8:47pm 5th October 2011 Where is this world heading to??
  6. Tom Pajak at 8:39pm 5th October 2011 another awesome feature if they decided to use the RF id's is that it could tell you when the expiration dates run....I'm pretty sure EVERYONE out there has SOMETHING in their fridge that expired and they just don't know it...
  7. Tom Pajak at 8:35pm 5th October 2011 the price is gonna be ridiculous though...$3500 for the old version that COULDN'T order....this 1 I bet goes for $500 more
  8. Sally Mckee at 8:32pm 5th October 2011 Yeah I need this-not!
  9. Tom Pajak at 8:29pm 5th October 2011 Awesome idea as long as I can scan coupons..also would be great if RF id's were used so it knew what was in the fridge and to tell me to replace it when I'm all out
