I cannot say if I was born too soon. I probably woke up too early though.

One could make a lead-lined, air-tight, food storage box that would be very power efficient. You put food in it and when you close the door, it blasts the food with X-rays and shuts off. It won't need any power until you open it up again. Who needs a stinkin' refrigerator?
