they said that in communism you’d have to give your toothbrush, but in capitalism you’ll have a hacked toothbrush and you’re gonna enjoy it!

    I disagree. Electric toothbrushes are an effective way to increase the efficiency of dental hygeine. Maintaining dental health is of critical importance for both individuals and societies, so it is well-worth investment. Like others have said, wireless connectivity is unnecessary though.

      Wireless connectivity and an app could be leveraged to:

      • help you track how frequently you and/or your children brush your teeth
      • to get reminders only if you didn’t already brush your teeth
      • in tandem with pressure sensors, to inform you if you’re brushing too hard

      Of those features, only the second one would require the toothbrush to have wifi access - the others could use bluetooth. That same feature could also be developed without using wifi if it was integrated with a smart home system like Zigbee, but would then require a hub and existing infrastructure on the part of customers to function.
