According to this article from the BBC, a design student in the UK has developed a toaster that takes meteorological information from the web and then browns bread with an image of what weather to expect. It creates one of three images familiar from TV weather maps (representing sunny, cloudy or rainy conditions) on the bread using stencils that mask part of the slice while the rest continues to be toasted. The images are made of heat-resistant plastic and stay rolled up round an axle until needed. While this may take the concept of “information appliance” to the extreme, it nonetheless shows out-of-the-box thinking on ways to represent data.
