People love to dig into technology like smart refrigerators. Although the price is not quite affordable yet, there is no denying that smart refrigerators can actually be very useful.

During CES earlier this year, Samsung and LG doubled down on their smart devices, with their new smart refrigerators being one of the main focuses. While many CES attendees spent their time whispering jokes to their peers (including my colleagues), I sat back and dreamed about how useful something like this could be in so many homes.
You can see what’s in your fridge while the grocery store
Most smart refrigerators have a super wide angle camera mounted inside the refrigerator so you can see what you have right from your smartphone — a great tool when you’re at the grocery store.
«But why can’t you just open the refrigerator and take a picture with your phone,» you ask? In the ideal scenario, this is exactly what you would do, but all too often you have already left the house when you decide to go to the grocery store to grab a few things. Or at the last minute, you decide you’ll stop by on your way home from work.
It might even save you a trip to the store. How many times have you wondered what you could cook at home but couldn’t remember if you had the right things and decided to go shopping anyway?
Also, something like this can come in handy when you’re craving a midnight snack but don’t know exactly what to snack on. So you can just stare at the camera on your phone without opening the refrigerator door and wasting all that energy (and money). Some smart refrigerators also come with touch screens that double as a window, so you can peek through the door at any time to see what’s inside.
They have touch screens that you probably use in the kitchen anyway
