A dog collar that sends tweets, an oven with Wi-Fi, a tampon that warns when it needs to be changed, a bottle with a touch screen, slippers connected to a smart laptop, a portable fridge with bluetooth speakers… Believe it or not, there is an endless list of everyday objects that have had technology unnecessarily added to them.
