why does a fridge need a computer and a screen?

I keep racking my brain on this one. Unless it’s doing advanced things like automatically tracking fridge inventory and helping build shopping lists, there’s literally no point. Analog controls work fine, even for fancier fridges with integrated ice makers.

why does anything aside from a computer?

‘need’? It doesn’t.
Possible useful applications? Reporting on anything relevant to the fridge (temps., power consumption, water level, maintenance reminders, usage tracking etc…)
Other than that I can’t think of anything other than 'bragging rights.

I did a little “is shit rotting in your fridge?, also inventory” thing for senior design. It was a cursed project for a variety of reasons, but even what we did was a stretch in terms of utility.
If only we had known that the girl that came up with the idea was actively detrimental to everything she was even adjacent to

There’s a super easy way to find out the answer to that question that does not require a screen… it’s incredibly innovative and kind of magic though, so I understand it’s not everyone’s first thought.

Equip a sensor that figures out how much ethylene is in the air inside the fridge?
Or just open the door every once in a while and look…
