How much will you pay to never burn toast?


From time to time I have posted links to incredible new inventions. Perhaps I am too much of a technocrat and believe technology will fix all our problems. Like the space mirror to keep the Earth from getting to hot. Or the virtual keyboard that projects the keys onto any flat surface. Add to that the Transparent Toaster.

Cool? Yes. Necessary? Well, it depends on how much you like your toast. (It's worth pointing out that the toaster is just in the "concept" stage and does not yet function or is for sale, as they have to make the glass conduct heat without melting. I imagine that the technology used in rear window defrosters may come in handy.)

GOOD LORD I WOULD EXCHANGE MANY AMERICAN DOLLARS FOR THIS MARVEL

When one considers devices like this, as well as boot-avoiding fishing poles and grocery-cart wobbly-wheel detectors, one can't help but wonder: will the American cliche itself become a thing of the past? Or will the idiosyncrasies of new technologies only serve to replace the vacuum left by life's real and proverbial burnt toast?
