人与社会——发明与创造
How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? A new invention called Kolibree senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track (监测) your performance on your phone.
The new product was presented at the International Consumer Electronics (消费类电子产品) Show in Las Vegas. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to the mobile phone through a Bluetooth wireless connection.
The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush in a right way and make sure you're brushing long enough. “It's kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing, ” says Thomas Serval, who invented it.
Serval says his idea came from his experience as a father. He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said “yes”, but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.
Serval says that one day, people may have a new style of brush which has a brushing unit with a camera on the handle (柄). The camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush.
