\"Order<\/a>A pizzeria in Dubai<\/a><\/strong> has unveiled a new refrigerator magnet<\/a><\/strong> that can order a pizza<\/a><\/strong> with a single tap. Samantha Murphy<\/a> at Mashable<\/a><\/em> reports<\/a> that a pizza box-shaped magnet called the VIP Fridge Magnet<\/strong><\/a> is connected to Red Tomato Pizza<\/a> in Dubai<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The magnet is preset to order a pizza online and is networked to the Internet of Things via a\u00a0 Bluetooth<\/a> connection on a smartphone. Red Tomato Pizza then sends a confirmation text and delivers the pizza soon after. You can also update your pizza selection online at any time.<\/p>\n

\"Order<\/a>This isn\u2019t the first time a pizza company has used modern technology to make ordering easier. Ann Arbor, Michigan<\/a> based Dominos Pizza<\/a> (DPZ<\/a>) has an app that allows users to place, customize and pay for their order with a few taps.<\/p>\n

Ms. Murphy points out that refrigerators have also recently been in the spotlight for embracing the web. In fact, Samsung<\/a> touted a refrigerator that tweets, plays music, and even displays your Google Calendar<\/a>. Meanwhile, LG<\/a> announced earlier this year a new line of smart appliances, including a refrigerator that helps you maintain your diet, sends recipes to your smart oven and even keeps you posted when you run out of certain groceries.<\/p>\n

This is a great example of the “Internet of Things<\/a>” by creating a new application by combining the IP network, Bluetooth networking, and smartphone technologies to do a task with very little human interaction. <\/em><\/p>\n
