    “What benefit does the Internet connection offer?”

    “You can make toast remotely.”

    “but don’t I have to put bread in?”

    “…”

    “don’t I need to be there to eat it?”

    “…”

      In the future, all of our meals will be in the cloud. An implant in your tongue will allow you to taste them. Calories will be distributed into your stomach with an HP Cartidge which you must replace regularly.

        A device connected to the cloud that will produce small film sheets (like those Listerine breath mint sheets that gave my former druggie youth pastor pause the first time I ever offered him one) that can be configured to reproduce the flavors you crave.

      So you suggest we need to add a system that can put bread and dispose of it when it’s ready.

        We once had a printer that we couldn’t stop or the main software would fail. We didn’t want the printouts so we fed it directly into a shredder.

        The good old days of recycling and feed paper.

          Don’t give them ideas! Next it will only toast revolition brand bread. Any other will not turn on the toaster and void warranty

            There’s an RFID chip in the bread to enable toasting on compatible models.

            "No, that’s the XF-6800 toaster, it can only toast XF 6-series bread and above. You’re using XC-4, you need the one that says “premium ultra.”

      Wild guess, it’s one of those gadget toasters that can toast images in bread. There are some that toast the weather forecast or a selfie.

        It doesn’t, besides some preconfigured toast settings, it features a photo frame on the display. That’s it
