Toasted bread as an information display device (originally developed in 2001 but somehow still intruiging): a toaster that parses meteorological information from the web and then browns bread with an image of what weather to expect, readable and consumable on the way to work. The image is burned on to the bread by one of 3 stencils, representing sunny, cloudy or rainy conditions.


Eventually, the stencils could become more sophisticated, to display detailed weather maps, short text messages and even advertisements on to bread.

    It might be intruiging, yet I think I prefer the bread just around that burned raincloud better. :P

  • Of course this thing is a bit of a gadget, but I don't understand why there aren't infofood companies and research institutions yet. I find the idea to connect 'information' with 'food' intruiging and promissing.
