For people who just don’t have the time sit and grab a proper breakfast and read their morning newspaper at the same, the Scan Toaster might be just the perfect home appliance. The unique design was conceptualized by designer Sung Bae Chang and even made it to the finals of a design competition held by appliance manufacturer Electrolux. The space-age gizmo connects to your PC via a USB port and downloads all kinda crap from weather to headlines or even cartoon strips right onto the bread. Thanks to a network of toasting “modules” heated by a hot wire, the toaster can burn content selected by the user on the slice. And this is where the old phrase “news you can use” starts to make real sense!
