Fridges are a recent invention; for thousands of years,
people lived without them, but had many low-tech ways of making food last.
Today most fridges are filled with stuff that would last just as long and

Salomon called "compost and condiments."
Some are looking at alternatives to such an expensive and
wasteful model. Kris De Decker of No Tech Magazine "refuses to
assume that every problem has a high-tech solution," and shows the work of
Korean designer Jihyun

to the technology, the refrigerator. We don’t observe the food any more and we
don’t understand how to treat it." (Read further: Source)
