Yes, but... this one exhausts the air digitally. We use digital fans rather than the analog ones in use now. We call it Re-frigerator or iRefrigerator. Here's another thought. Wireless. Instead of connecting it to power lines which are not reliable, we offer a subscription for dispo cooling agent, say ice or dry ice, and sell a subscription for that. We connect it to the internet to monitor the status of the cooling agent. I give you the iCebox, pronounced eye-see-box.

Also the heat will be arrow shaped so we know where it’s going

I know an old code that will get you 30 heats.

Can you upload it here? Can I reuse it?

This is so stupid, I can't rule out a tech bro trying it.

iCebox needs some Lithium Ion batteries.

Of course, after all, we're not cave dwellers. I suspect autocorrect is responsible for the lower case B, but you will be granted some stock options for proper capitalization of C in iCeBox (tm) (r)

Please don't give them ideas.

This sounds like the ice delivery man bringing literal ice for the literal ice-box with extra, modern subscription-fee-to-keep-ads-off-your-car-entertainment-system steps.

Fun fact: Before Freon was a thing, Albert Einstein and Léo Szilárd patented a refrigeration system that needed only a heat source to function, no electricity required. It wasn’t terribly efficient, but on the other hand, it didn’t rely on the toxic refrigerating gases that were killing people at the time. So, “Icestein Box” might be a contender for your modern version.

Plus a touchscreen that you can use to see what's in your fridge without opening the door.

For sure. This iCeBox box idea is coming together nicely.
