Free Dorothy: When you hear the word “innovation” in technology, you expect some completely new product or service. But last week, an LG Smart Refrigerator and one girl’s ingenuity changed how we expect innovation.
We're talking about Ariana Grande's Twitter account, or @thankunext327.
What do today's teenagers do when their mom blocks their access to the internet by locking the connection device in a drawer?

There are some kids who will look for their phones in drawers or in their mom's purse, but Dorothy decided to tweet from her family's smart refrigerator.

But before making a decision, he looked at other devices. For example, he thought about a Nintendo 3DS that he had at home.
But because mothers know what their child will do before they do it, Nintendo also seized, allowing only a tweet informing the child's friends: "account will now be closed."

But it didn't stop there. Dorothy continued to use her Wii U to post a message to her friends, thanking them for their continued support and love during these difficult times.

Thus was born the #FreeDorothy trend that stayed on Twitter for more than an hour. After Dorothy was confiscated from the Wii U, she began tweeting from the refrigerator:

With the tweet from the refrigerator, she thanked her thousands of friends again for their support.
Dorothy's perseverance and resourcefulness give me hope for the future. The kids are okay.
