The Smart Toaster Is Coming, and It Lets You Write and Draw on Bread | |  | | | | | | | Toast has enjoyed a real resurgence these past few years.
But after every incarnation of housemade butter, local jam and smashed avocado toppings, where does toast go from here?
It's an important question.
Well, it's a question.
And we've got the answer.
Meet Toasteroid, a new device that sounds like a vintage arcade game but is actually a smart, app-controlled toaster that will imprint text and images onto bread because this is the world we live in. They're currently raising funds on Kickstarter, it's available for preorder now, and it will begin shipping next year.
The actual thing you'll touch and see is a die-cast aluminum toaster. Pretty nice. But inside you've got microfilament heating technology. That's the string of words to describe how this contraption can heat your bread evenly while applying specific heat patterns to form text and images on that bread. It's perhaps the most unnecessary-yet-appreciated application of science we've seen all day.
Now, as for how to use this thing...
