After a long day at work or school, many people like to head to their refrigerator. In it you can find cottage cheese, yogurt, apples, lunch meat and much more all kept cool because a refrigerator refrigerates food, meaning
it "...make[s] or keep[s] [food] cold or cool, as for
preservation".
From as far back as the world has record up until the early 1900s, people used ice in some form to refrigerate food.
In the 1930s mechanical refrigerators became a common household item.
Today people mostly have in their home what is called a vapor-compression refrigerator.

I predict that in the future there will be refrigerators that will, on their own, keep a computerized list of every item in your fridge and it's location, displayed on the front of the door, so you don't have to rummage through a crowded shelf to find something.
