Facebook Toaster
Twitter/facebook/myspace/bebo (delete according to age, economic status and nationality) may seem all pervasive now, but if Samsung has its way, there truly will be no escape. The IFA consumer electronics trade show in Berlin saw the firm demonstrate its commitment to helping people chatter inanely and document aspects of their lives even mum doesn’t care about, by introducing social networking features to gadgets including cameras, TVs, digital photo frames, printers and mp3 players. Ok so I made the toaster up.
Not that facebook is all bad of course, after all, it can help Bollywood directors embarrass themselves with a spot of vaguely saucy chat, and allow girls trapped in storm drains to contact the emergency services when they’re too stupid to just dial the number (so much for it making you clever).
