Yep, you don’t get it. You’ll understand the day the drone flies your milk and eggs to the house because the refrigerator reordered what you used up.

I can’t see drones being a useful delivery mechanism. On the other hand, I’ve seen the video of the Lego factory, and how it manages to deliver all the parts into the bags and then into boxes for all the different kits, almost entirely by machine.

How would the refrigerator know that my wife didn’t just leave me and I never ate eggs? Or that I actually need to stock up because my kid and his family are visiting for a week? Right now, my frig is pretty stupid, it doesn’t even know the ice machine isn’t actually hooked up.

I am actually too old. I am still amazed that Amazon can make money shipping me a TV for free to my door. Especially when it breaks and I have to pay $90 to ship it back to the company for warranty repair.
