ROLLERtoaster

Saw an interesting toaster!

ROLLERtoaster:

At the dawn of 1909, the first electrical toaster was designed. The earliest pop up toaster then took a further 15 years to emerge from its predecessor. Ever since then, pop up toasters has dominated the whole of 19th century as wellas the early 20th century. In our pursuit towards designing better cell phone, televisions, etc; we have evolved from cumbersome cell phones to the slim and chic cell phones of today. Bulky set top box television to the desirable slender plasma screen. We have leaped tremendous folds in pursuing better design for these products and yet why some products like the taosters have not progress much in the past 80 years?

Could we perhaps design a toaster that is sleek, compact and modern? Or perhaps new ways of toasting bread?
