This is gettin ridiculus.. by SikStyles on 10-13-2005 at 03:40 AM
I was watching TV when i saw a new ORAL-B commercial, a new toothbrush is out..Oral-B Triumph to be exact and can you you belive it, this toothbrush an onboard computer, with a screen!
Now i think this is going a bit too far. It may be good toothbrush but a toothbrush is a toothbrush after all...
What do you guys think?

Never thought i'd see the day where i'd have "Brushing Stats" lol
RE: This is gettin ridiculus.. by RebelSean on 10-13-2005 at 04:00 AM
Onboard computer? It looks to me, a small LCD screen with a clock and a few lines of text you can enter. Not bad, the technology looks cool. I guess it's time to get one of these babies and get rid of my 7000 series

Lol that is hellarious does it brush your teeth for you while you walk

I love Oral-B toothbrushes. 
Although I agree, this is getting a bit too far. I really don't think I'd need a 'computer' in a toothbrush. The computer inside my skull should be good enough...

that is stupid....
My god, im happy with my normal electric one....
RE: This is gettin ridiculus.. by L. Coyote on 10-13-2005 at 10:27 AM
Normal toothbrushes rock...
RE: This is gettin ridiculus.. by CookieRevised on 10-13-2005 at 10:27 AM
If you read the features, it isn't that stupid at all.
This 'build in computer' you speak of, is a simple control that let you choose different settings for the brush head, something like 'slow', 'normal', 'fast'...
The extra stuff, eg: you can simply see how long you're brushing (as 2 min is the recommended time), is something very good for many people. Time yourself without looking at a clock, many people often brush much to short, especially children.
Also, the head of the brush gets dirty (of course). Is it that rediculus that the thoothbrush will warn you when it is time to replace the head?
IMO, not rediculus at all and certainly not that "build in super-computer which also makes you a cup of coffee and cleans out your room"...

i like it, everything now a days is getting to be like this so why not toothbrushes, will help out ppl for sure
and cmon, how kool would it be to say that your toothbrush can wipe your ass, ok maybe not that far but its still worth something to gloat about

Vibrating toothbrushes are a cheap alternative to a vibrator. Girls know what I mean.

ok all that but come on its a toothbrush and IMO there are more things out there that need this advancing rather more than toothbrushes, it may tell you everything and have different modes but just the thought of it is going a bit too far IMO. I see new toothbrushes every 2 weeks and who knows what will be next from Oral B, a toothbrush you dont have to hold and just wait till it cleans your teeth?

eg: 10 years ago, when the first electric toothbrush was made, you could have got one with a slider button which had 4 states: off, slow, normal, fast. This has simply been replaced by a small chip and 1 button, nothing bloated at all.
And this also happens in many, many household equipments. This is the exact same thing as the digital kitchen clock instead of the old thing you need to wind-up, nothing more
You let it sound like it is a 5Ghz lequid cooled super-computer...

well ok im not going to argue against improving things but maybe improving the size/shape/material of the brush itself, i mean i've had many toothbrushes in different shapes and they all do the same job, i brush for 2 minutes, brush the same way with every toothbrush but still get the same result...

why? You never know. There could be a new toothbrush where you sit down and the device has a mouthpiece with the U-shape, so you just put it your mouth and press the button and the brushes on the U-Shape brush your teeth on the sides and top while you can sit down and lets say if you are a girl you can do your make up or do any kinds of stuff..

I tried to slip my jeans on with one hand and brush my teeth at same time once it got a little messy~!
well no problem, there could be a cup or something of that kind under the chin so whatever drips, drips onto to the cup
RE: This is gettin ridiculus.. by mwe99 on 10-13-2005 at 11:21 PM
well modern day technology evolves daily
for example the text kettle they invented... you text it to tell it to boil
toothbrushes have fancy goods to make them sell better... and to play pinball for the brushing time (i wish)

yes it is, it has a brushes attached to it which makes it a toothbrush, and the brushes are connected to a mouthpiece which has little gears in it what turn the brushes .. this is a great idea
im not gonna tell more, maybe someone will steal my idea

Cellphones now are all-in-one devices, from sending text messages (like a pager) to an iPod-like device (right, you can play songs using iTunes on your phone http://www.apple.com/itunes/mobile/)

I'm happy with just my normal OralB toothbrush (electric), it cleans my teeth and my retainer just fine

RE: This is gettin ridiculus.. by YottabyteWizard on 10-14-2005 at 03:55 PM
I'm happy with my good ol' non-electric toothbrush
