Smart Fridge

South Korea's LG Electronics is banking on its new smart fridge, becoming an essential component of kitchens around the world. The smart fridge is a technological marvel compared to fridges of the past. It boasts a food management system that maintains a list of the food it is storing. It also records the expiry dates of the foods and sends out an alert via Wi-Fi when that date has been reached. The information can be accessed via a smartphone by consumers as they shop in grocery stores, allowing them to make informed decisions about food purchases. LG adds that its fridge can also suggest healthy recipes based on what it knows is inside.
