Smart Refrigerator
A smart refrigerator, also known as internet refrigerator, is a refrigerator which is able to communicate with the internet. This kind of refrigerator is often equipped to determine itself whenever a food item needs to be replenished. History By the late 1990s and the early 2000s, the idea of connecting home appliances to the internet (Internet of Things) had been popularized and was seen as the next big thing. In June 2000, LG launched the world's first internet refrigerator, the Internet Digital DIOS. This refrigerator was an unsuccessful product because the consumers had seen it as unnecessary and expensive (more than $20,000). Controversy Security In 2000, Russian anti-virus company Kaspersky Lab warned that in a few years Internet-connected fridges and other household appliances may be targets of net viruses, such as ones that could be designed to make your fridge door swing open in the middle of the night.

Android (operating System)
Android is a mobile operating system based on a modified version of the Linux kernel and other open-source software, designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
