How many times have you been having dinner with friends and thought damn, this is fun, but what would really make the evening would be some kind of interactive bluetooth salt dispenser which also plays music? 
 
Well your search ends here. Introducing SMALT:
 

 
Why, you can even dispense the salt from your smartphone, if you literally have nothing else going on in your life. 
 
The sad thing is that Millennials actually are spending money on junk like this. I have in my client base young Millennial couples and when I go in their homes I see a ton of this kind of garbage. Oftentimes it sits in the countertop in the box for weeks untouched until they eventually get around to returning it to Amazon. God knows how much time and resources are wasted manufacturing, shipping and returning crap like this because young people these days are so hopelessly whimsical.

Can you get me a deal on a cloud-enabled salad spinner?

How about a 16 GB fake candle/speaker/media hub that creates a Bluetooth LAN with napkin rings?  All your guests will be able to IM each other throughout the meal.

You know, this unnatural desire to link EVERYTHING to the internet and the smartphone almost reminds me of the 1950/60s, when everything was atomic energy and rockets. Just like now, everything from kitchen appliances to cars had to have the look of the atom or a rocket ship. Looking back on the pictures from that time period, I can't help but think the same will be happening 20-30 years from now and how future generations will laugh at the craziness we are now going through!
