IF YOU'RE the type of person who needs technology to permeate almost every aspect of your life, then Samsung has just the thing for you.

The show stealer of the technology giant's CES press conference this week was undoubtedly the new Family Hub refrigerator.

The fridge will come complete with sensors, cameras, smart capabilities and a huge touch screen display.

It also takes a picture of what's inside your fridge every time you close the door - meaning you'll always be up to date on how much milk and bread you have left.

You can remotely access the fridge's cameras in real time from any location through your smartphone, and also use the Family Hub to order groceries online through the new 'Groceries by MasterCard” smart fridge app.

The 21.5-inch, 1080p display can also display family pictures and messages- bringing the age-old custom of magnetised photos into the future.

And as if the fridge didn't do enough already, it also comes equipped with technology to help track and monitor your family's eating habits.

The fridge is part of Samsung's strategy to deliver so-called 'life hacks” — mundane tasks that can be made more efficient through technology.

Samsung unveiled a host of hi-tech gadgets and gizmos at CES Las Vegas, all of which are designed to help you 'life hack” your way through 2016.

The company, for example, also showcased the remote to end all remotes. It's a smart remote capable of controlling your television, cable set-top boxes, gaming consoles, Blu-ray players and other media players. The remote will lead you to a specialised menu with full control capabilities when paired with a Samsung Smart TV.

'No longer will you need to keep track of several revotes to control individual devices. All you need is one Samsung Smart TV,” said Chris Turkstra, vice president of Samsung's customer experience lab.
