2016-04-25
greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best feet talk show in the universe I'm Ashley together I'm Jeff kanata its headlines time we joke a lot about the robot uprising where they will all become our overlords but in order to get to there they have to serve us first right according to workers daily a Chinese newspaper to gwangju restaurants that replaced all their human workers with robots are closing up shop because the robots were terrible at their jobs the robots you're watching now aren't the waiters in question but are similar to the ones that were fired one employee said quote the robots weren't able to carry soup or other food steady and would frequently break down unquote the cost of upkeep combined with the novelty of robotic waiters wearing off means future restaurant owners might think twice about getting rid of their human employees had one job robots don't spill the soup how hard is that and you can't even file a complaint with human resources because you are not human robot resource base Oh terrible that's not good no I mean good for us I guess I guess slightly good for us if you guys are super bored when you brush your teeth maybe adding a video game to your tooth brushing will help you get it done gunplay is a Japanese device that snaps onto the end of any toothbrush and sinks to a nap there are three different options for you to choose from at that point including mouth band which lets you play an instrument of your choice as you brush mouth news which delivers three minutes of customized news and mouth monster which is a game where you defend your mouth against evil bacteria as you brush it's on sale but it's only in Japan for now and it's about 5,000 yen so it's about 45 US dollars if you want to get in on that mouth band mouth bands like rock band yeah with your mouth you choose an instrument and then like it will play a little song oh you play along with it and as you brush the tempo goes up or down it's it's really weird you guys what should we talk about Thursday maybe you're both good choices yeah I mean it's good that the robots aren't able to up rise because of they're not good at things but this stuff about this toothbrush I come on I do think there is a larger conversation we had on whether or not everything needs to be smart do we need smart toothbrushes to help us get to three minutes of brushing like is that necessary not everything needs to be motivated by games I mean I love games yeah I might disagree I might disagree we need to talk about this so if you want to get in on that conversation tell us what you think does everything need to be smart or not just like this lovely gum play toothbrush uh use the hashtag hey TD yeah Twitter if you if you use that hashtag will incorporate your comments into our discussion then it'll be this cool three-way discussion between you guys us that's the coolest way to do that it will be the best yeah and on that note now that
