Not yet. What until you see the blue tooth toilet paper roll. Keeps track of how many times you crap in a month, how much toilet paper is used during a session and how long you sit on the throne. Useful at home and especially at work.

With automated sharing on all social networks, of course.

I am all about technology, except for in the bathroom.

In the near future, I think the bathroom will be the single most important place to apply technology more than any other place in the home. There are/will be many ways to leverage technology to improve human health and wellbeing through the bathroom. For example, monitoring your heath through the toilet’s analysis of your urine and feces. A toothbrush tracking your usage patterns, plaque and tartar levels along with your gum health. Weight scales that also communicate with your phone/computer. Not to mention, conveniences like being able to go on your phone and have your bath drawn so its ready when you get home from work or the gym. Bathroom tech will be a critical part of our future.

I am afraid that you may be 100% correct on your statements. The fact that a toilet may one day analyze my feces and that the NSA or other hacker could access it, is very disturbing. Maybe the darn thing can autopost to my facebook page a well.

Again, I embrace technology faster than most. But I will fight it in my bathroom as long as I can.
 
I have no use for this, because i don't use toothpaste. I use organic coconut oil to clean my teeth with.

It's called 'oil pulling' and you swish a teaspoon of it in your mouth for 15-20 mins a day. X2

It naturally whitens your teeth, gets rid of plaque and helps with gingivitis and cavities.

Even as I slowly sink into the depths of dementia...I can still brush my teeth without a $220 toothbrush and associated iPhone app.

Just because something can be made, doesn't mean it should be made...

I will get one. Just because you can't find a use for it doesn't mean I can't enjoy it.
 
But will we able to connect it to Facebook and post automatically about how long we brushed our teeth for??:rolleyes:

You know, everyone worries about the government getting this info, and forcing its good citizens to brush more, or stop smoking, or whatever. Others worry that Google will serve up toothpaste ads.

But it's not the government... or even advertisters... that we have to worry about.

It's the insurance companies.

They already subpoena automobile computer crash/driving data, cellphone and GPS data, texts, even Facebook passwords.

If I were a dental insurance company, I'd sure love to have records of how little you brushed when you tried to get me to pay for new teeth!
