Touch the Future Now at StaplesMore exciting than watching water boil

You know how annoying it is when you stick your bread in the toaster and accidentally set the dial too high, and when your toast finally pops up, it's darker than you want, or burned?
Granted, most of us over the age of, say, 6 are probably able to handle an ordinary toaster most of the time. But don't you want to watch your toast, well, toasting? Don't you want to see the magic happen?
This concept transparent glass toaster lets you do just that. Or, rather, it wants to let you do just that. Yeah, I was disappointed, too, when I read that the transparent heating glass technology does not currently heat the glass enough to toast bread. But the vendor thinks that a little R&D (and, I'm guessing, a lot of VC cash) could solve that problem.
At any rate, it looks cool.
I normally have two slices of toast.
Four slices would be better.
And I have bagels and frozen waffles to put in there too.
If the power consumption is lowered than a normal toaster and it's easy to clean and it can allow for thicker breads, they might have something here.
See you in a decade or so...

- Hope they're also thinking up a way to keep the outside of the glass from getting as hot as the inside.
