What I particularly like about the Samsung LCD refrigerator is that there is an app included which allows users to see the relation between their food and create great meals. This type of fridge may end up becoming commonplace in most kitchens, but right now it signals a brave new world. **Implications** - Consumers are looking for new and exciting ways to share the content of their lives with their friends and family.
