What exactly will I benefit from with this Internet of Things?

when your carton of milk is empty. you scan the barcode using a reader on the fridge and the fridge then makes an order to get more milk delivered, using the bitcoins you deposited into the bitcoin address for the fridge.  you fridge is then in full control of selecting the goods on the foodstores website, and paying them.
that way you dont have to even order food/drink . you just scan barcodes and wait for the delivery driver to turn up.

Great, what will that cost LOL

Again, cool but no thanks, costly and a fad imo. Good old fashion move your ass comes to mind.

smart fridges have been available for years already. and upgrading them from just connecting to a website that ready has your credit card details stored, to a service that accepts bitcoin is a simple software update not really new or sophisticated. as for the old move your ass comment. i kinda agree, but then again back in the day when kids use to walk to school even when its snowing or raining, and now kids get snow days even when their parents drive 4x4 cars.. you gotta ask yourself will people move their ass if they are offered a simple solution
