A fridge is not the best analogy, I think.  Its more like a DVD player for
them internets.

It can do playback, but not recording.  Its got fixed capabilities.  They
are built to last just a few years.  When the new model comes out, your
expected to upgrade.   You dont know how it works, exactly, but you dont
care.  You need smarter people than you to make the content it consumes.  It
only consumes.
