Nanotechnology
While I was watching TV the other day a commercial came on for a new toothbrush that has an on-board computer! [Uh... why?] It's made by Oral B and has a microchip in the brush head and an LCD screen.
"When you've polished enough, an image of a tooth appears on the LCD screen, with an asterisk of light glinting off a corner. And when one has brushed enough with the cleaning head, the LCD screen displays (heaven help us) a smiley face." [Jack Kapica - Globe and Mail Update]
Sheesh. The advances of technology. They never cease to amaze. But a computerized toothbrush??!! C'mon! Yeah, MP3 players = cool. Flat screen LCD TVs = sweet. But a toothbrush with smiley's?
I also heard that someone was developing clothes that don't need to be washed - they are self-cleaning! Now THAT'S putting technology to good use!

Can somebody please explain something to me?
We can send people into space, blow up the planet if we wanted to and make toothbrushes that tell me when I've brushed enough and we still can't manage to stop pidgeons from crappin on my car when I drive to work?
It seems to me that would be a better use for technology. Of course that's just my opinion. I
could be wrong
