Brushing your teeth for minutes at a time could be a thing of the past thanks to the Amabrush, the world's first automatic toothbrush.
You'd be forgiven for thinking it was a mouth guard when you first set eyes on it. However this "mouth guard" has soft silicone bristles in it and is magnetically attached to a round handle. Toothpaste? No need to worry about that, just put the mouthpiece in, and it will do everything for you, toothpaste and all.
When the Amabrush gets to work it brushes in every location in your mouth at the same time, just the way your dentist would want, there's no place that is missed.
With this device, a perfect brush only takes 10 seconds from start to finish so it's no surprise that the Kickstarter campaign is looking particularly healthy. It's already at well over $1 million when they initially asked for just over $50 thousand.
The Amabrush is another example of automation doing its job well, getting the mundane daily tasks done efficiently and hence freeing up time for humans to think and do more interesting and creative things. Whether it be a large leap in automation or just a small piece of the puzzle, it's still progress in the right direction.
How we do many daily tasks has changed a lot in recent times but brushing your teeth has remained pretty much the same for the past few decades. This really is the kind of thing we would have in our science fiction films which are set in the future, but now it's a reality.
If we are willing and ready, automation has the potential to free us up from far duller repetitive jobs so we might have more time to pursue our passions, hobbies, and careers.
How soon will these things happen? It's hard to say, but I do hope they get a move on inventing the three sea shells from demolition man!
