CES is about showing what is possible, what a manufacturer is able to make. This doesn't mean that it will get on the market. Apps are a hype nowadays, so they have to incorporate them in their designs. It will not mean that we will control our appliances by apps in the future. When the hype about apps is over the design will change again and make use of new hypes. These appliances are like concept cars on auto shows. In the future these some of these things will seem totally odd.

Oh Harley ... ... read up on the benefits of raw milk. PASTEURIZING milk is the worst thing we could have possibly done to it. And the real reason for Pasteurization, when you look at the history, is totally non-existant today. | ||

Thanks but no thanks I'll stick with "app-less" old school appliances. | ||

It will become increasingly difficult to live in a world that isn't connected (to the internet) as the youngest generation seem to have little regard for privacy. They don't remember a world without Snapchat, Instagram, and Twitter.
NYCWriter-- You mentioned raw milk recipes. Does raw milk behave differently than pasteurized milk in recipes? I could swear I used to see raw milk in the grocery store when I was a kid (1960s-early 1970s). Was the product once above ground? | ||

As for the appliances: It's inevitable that appliances will connect to the internet, especially since we've nearly hit a wall concerning energy usage. You'll have the option to let the 'net scan your energy supplier for low-demand rates and start your dishwasher or washer at those times. Electricity is basically the same price 24/7 out here on the lone prairie, so that won't apply. And I can see how having a recipe flash up on your cooktop would be enticing. No bulky iPad or phone on the countertop.
I agree with you about Whirlpool's dryer, Malcolm. It's the 21st century, for god's sake! If you're going to give the world a window into your dryer, then at least dress it up a bit. The washer interior gleams, while the dryer looks cheap.
Art elements: Reminds me of when a couple of companies tried putting "mod" art elements on appliances in the late '60s-early 70s. Remember the garish flower-power wallpaper look? Yeesh. Probably great from a collector's standpoint, but I wouldn't want one. | ||
