But there is one place where smart technology might make a difference, and that is in the kitchen [treehugger.com]. I have been dismissive of smart fridges [treehugger.com] and internet connected ranges before, but after reading Jennifer Tuohy’s article The Smart Kitchen: The Next Big Hope for the Internet of Things [triplepundit.com] in TriplePundit, I realize that you cannot look at these appliances in isolation.

What is the largest producer of waste and second largest user of energy in the home? The kitchen. …I believe the smart kitchen is the next big thing for the smart home, the residential arm of IOT. If manufacturers can figure out a way to make smart products in the kitchen that reduce waste and energy use and increase convenience, then we will have a win for the planet, the consumer and business.
