Al Toothbrush: Launching Toothbrush with an inbuilt Alarm

Sounds like Al Jazeera, right?


Here's how it looks. Nice, no?

This toothbrush is meant for those who forget to brush their teeth in the morning. They find it difficult to remember to brush and so have to be reminded somehow. So instead of relying on a separate alarm bell meant to remind us about brushing teeth, we have designed a toothbrush with an inbuilt alarm. Would love to try? Your feedback will be important for us.

Out of the many suggestions, sometimes we have received this suggestion that Cockpit App should have an alarm bell too, for important deadlines and tasks, including an alarm to remind one to open the App itself. I was enthused about it early on and I value all the suggestions. And yet this suggestion has been the most irksome to me personally, as a product developer and user.

Here's what I feel. Planning your day is a habit. Or let me say, should be your habit. When you use Cockpit AIT Planner, you realize that it turns out to be a 'go-to' tool during the day, and most effective when you fall into the habit of noting things down early morning everyday.

Yes, Cockpit is an essential habit tool. Refer to it early in the day and your day's sorted. You won't require alarms and such to remind you of what's important. If important requires alarm, then I wonder what does alarming require? Automated hammer-bang on the head?

If one can't remember to brush every morning, we'll invent an Al Toothbrush for that person? I think this person is largely beyond repair. Perhaps in need of medication or therapy. :)

I don't think there's a point in advising (through an alarm reminder) any person to plan his/her work every morning. I don't think one needs to be reminded about important deadlines through an alarm either. Alarm can't be the habit or can't build a great habit. You habitually brush your teeth or habitually smell stale.

Do you want to or don't want to plan? If you are alarming the brush into your teeth, the planet's doomed. Good plot for movies.
