Has technology gone too far? NOW: A USB Toaster.

It used to be that you'd buy any appliance at the store and maybe read the instructions or maybe you don't.

I mean... How much brains does it really take to use a toaster?

Now there's the USB Toaster. It's not your analog toaster any more. Now it's a Digipliance. 

Instead of laboriously having to turn the dial to set your toast preferences to Light Medium or Dark, now you just plug in your USB toaster to your computer and jump on the Internet.

Then you fill out a form as to the kind of bread you like. Wonder bread white. Wheat. Potato flour bread. Banana bread, English Muffin or Rye. Then you specify how light or dark you like your toast. Then after a few more questions, it allows you to download your toasting preferences directly to your new USB Toaster.

Wow. Now THAT's convenience. 

I loved the USB toaster so much, I bought ten of them so I can ship one to my friends.

P.S. In case you don't REALLY spend a minute on the site link, it's not a real product. But the BOX is friggin' hilarious. And I just gave you the ammo above to play a really funny joke on your friends.
