The next best thing after sliced bread
-
I know, I know! Build a smart, IoT enabled plate to keep this jam sandwich on, so that the plate can send real-time updates to my smart phone on how much bread is remaining, and if the bread needs a little more jam, etc. Right? Riiight?
It should also sense my appetite, any remaining ingredients too. Right?

Is an IoT enabled bread toaster. You know you need it: Smart toasters are here | TechCrunch[^] I tell you it's a bargain for $99 especially given that you could control the toaster from your smart phone app! :rolleyes:
The Russians have already hacked it--the heating coils, when a small current is applied, vibrate to air pressure waves, allowing them to listen in on any conversations within a 6 foot radius of the toaster. ;) Marc
V.A.P.O.R.ware - Visual Assisted Programming / Organizational Representation Learning to code with python is like learning to swim with those little arm floaties. It gives you undeserved confidence and will eventually drown you. - DangerBunny Artificial intelligence is the only remedy for natural stupidity. - CDP1802

It's a step in the right direction[^].

Indeed, some people might deny it though. That's the problem. :(

They're way too late. I first saw [The Object-Oriented Toaster](http://www.danielsen.com/jokes/objecttoaster.txt) in 1998 (or thereabouts).
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

And can you put the slices in too via that app?

Does it allow you to load the bread a week in advance and monitor it to warn me if it's going green, so I can load it in advance so I don't have to get out of bed until it's ready?

I saw what I think is the same version of this (except for the processor version cited) in the 1980s, and I believe it originated within Digital Equipment Corporation ("DEC"). It was in an email message that came from TURTLE::STAN, who I think was [Stan Rabinowitz](http://www.mathpropress.com/stan/). If it didn't come from his keyboard, it at least passed through his disk space.

You are probably correct. I first saw this in a dump of alleged humour sent to me by an ex-DEC employee.
