I used to attend a lot of trade shows in the electronics industry. I recall the first Internet-connected refrigerators appeared about 20 years ago. I think they were technology demonstrators, because it was years before I saw them for sale. Supposedly they could generate shopping lists automatically, but it wasn’t clear how they knew how much milk or butter or whatever you had used.
