Someday, I expect the pantry to have a barcode reader on it connected back a computer setup for the kitchen someday. Most of us already use barcode readers when we shop so its not a big step to home use.
Nah... That's short-term thinking. The future holds advanced

And since your can of creamed corn is globally addressable, the rest of the world knows what's in your pantry too. ;)
This definitely helps explain your misconceptions about NAT as a security tool.
Globally addressable != globally reachable.
Things can have global addresses without having global reachability. There are these tools called access control lists and routing policies. Perhaps you've heard of them. They can be quite useful.
And your average home user, whose WiFi network is an open network named "linksys" is going to do that how?
Because the routers that come on pantries and refrigerators will probably be made by people smarter than the folks at Linksys?
But they'll still be operated by end users that are so smart, that when they get e-mail from "service@usps.gov" that says that FedEx couldn't deliver a package (that they're not expecting) to them they click on the password protected "UPS tracking.zip" file and manage to run the .exe file that is supposed to allow them to get the package delivered. -- Dave
