Blog Assign. # 6

I have chosen to explore how "integrating preferences" from chapter 5 in our book could be applied to project #4. I see this being useful for setting the weather and news and basic local information that the fridge can provide you by asking you one time your location. And using that to gather the weather and news. That way you will only need to enter that info once instead of multiple times allowing you to get into the applications and start exploring how they work. Maybe even the fridge could be equipped with GPS capabilities and can find your location on its own and set this setting. It would also be important to include the option for users to change any or all the location preferences at all times, or maybe add another one that you can view in addition to your original(current) location. All in all integrating preferences would save the user set up time and give them more time to begin using.
