The common suggestion would be they would keep track of what was in the
fridge. Re-ordering from your internet supermarket. Telling you when the milk
was going bad. They would connect with the microwave and share info. Say you
made something in the microwave it would tell the fridge to add it to the
order.
Much of this was during the tech boom when money was being thrown at anything.
