Designer Toast
Designer Sung Bae Chang invented a toaster that can burn pretty much anything onto your morning slice.
The Scan Toaster connects to a PC over USB and downloads everything from local weather conditions and the current time to the morning’s news headlines.
Inside the toaster is a network of toasting “modules”, each heated by a hot wire. Each module can move by 30° and, once the user selects what they want on their toast - excluding a topping, of course - the modules align themselves and burn the appropriate content onto the bread.
The appliance is a finalist in design competition run by
manufacturer Electrolux and designer Sung Bae Chang said he got the
idea whilst - you guessed it - making some toast.

No way, that is the coolest thing ever! Genius!
