I wonder how we could make them even more efficient, some way to stop the transfer of warm air when the door is opened? Wonder if it's possible to create some sort of air curtain at the front when it's opened to prevent warm air coming in, ie use driven air velocity to overcome the cold air wants to come out, hot air wants to come in. Hmmm.
That is an interesting idea, but I don't think an Internet connection would help with it :)
> Shows you how creating and enforcing standards is the driver for stuff like this.
Also agreed that is an interesting graph, I agree that it shows how standards and better production has led to decreased energy usage -- but notably, a lot of those standards are around better insulation and more efficient components.
Putting an extra layer of foam in your fridge or having sensors in your fridge that help regulate temperature definitely doesn't mean you've lost control of your life. But needing to download a firmware update to your Internet-enabled fridge that uses a Samsung account where you now can't access your grocery list until you finish the mandated update which changes your fridge's UI on its mobile app -- I think that means you've lost control of your life :)
