Your Toothbrush is Now a Smartphone

By Max Berlinger

Does your morning routine feel a little ... dated? Thanks to technology, all of the vast riches of the world can now fit into the palm of your hand, and yet when you go to brush your teeth you're still doing it the same way, more or less, that the cavemen did (wait-did they even brush their teeth?). Well, I, personally, hadn't noticed anything was amiss but now that Reuters is reporting that Oral-B is releasing a Bluetooth 4.0-enabled toothbrush that will connect wirelessly to your smartphone, I thought to myself, "Well, who needs that?" But, hell, if your glasses are computers, your watch is a computer, and your phone is a computer, why the hell not have your toothbrush be a computer, too?

So if you haven't quite gotten that whole brushing back-and-forth thing down quite yet, you'll be able to monitor your progress via an app on your phone. The miracles of technology! It's like the future, but now! So there you have it. Big Brother is now officially watching you brush your teeth-and he thinks you missed a spot on your upper left bicuspid.
