Toothbrush
Topic: Technology
Look at this, will you? It's got an on-board computer that tells you when you need to change the brush head, tells you how long you've been brushing, how much of a charge it has left, and it'll even tell you in 13 different languages.

And it's a toothbrush! For Gods' sakes, what the Hells happened to plain old, ordinary toothbrushes? I use an electric toothbrush mainly because it's easier than using a regular toothbrush. But I don't need a freakin' timer to tell me I've been brushing long enough! It has "flossing action." I can get that too... I use a special thing called "floss!" I have a water pic too, but I got that due to a weird bit of dental work that needed attention. I don't need it any more, and so I haven't used it in a while. Regular floss works fine again.

Are we, as a nation or race, so easily impressed with technology that we have computerized toothbrushes? Will people actually buy these things? Yes, yes they will, because you could put turtle poop on a long stick and someone, somewhere, will have a need for it, and will be willing to pay you for it. A computerized toothbrush is going to be really, really popular, no matter how much they charge for one.

And I think that's sad.
