      Yes sadly it is. And of course the trackers in the app for Oral-B are off the scale. It’s absolutely not needed, especially when the newer Oral-B’s have the charging station that also doubles as indicator if you press too hard, which sector you should brush and which sectors you have already done (not that I need any of that).

          Yeah, I feel similarly. I think it would be okay as a guidance to teach us to properly clean our teeth (believe it or not, vast majority of people already do not know how to properly do that and dentists do not teach us) but blindly follow apps all the time… We will end up like in wall-e or something. My backup is just actually do things intentionally. I don’t care if It is slow, I have time, why would I rush things. I guess I am trying to enjoy the journey rather than focus on goals and stuff.

              I agree that parents should be teaching a lots of things, but if they don’t know how to do things, there should be some instances where to amend that. In case of teeth cleaning I think dentists as experts on dental hygiene should be the good resource. Lots of dentists is even overloaded, at least in Czechia, so I would guess its in their interest to teach people how to care about teeth. The story about potty training is crazy. Its like the other day I have been recommended a youtube video that showed stuff like how to clean toielt, bathtube or kitchen, and I was absolutely stunned how many commenters were thanking the guy for showing them how to do that. I mean good that he did, but I would have never thought there is so many people that do not know how to clean after themselves…

              Yeah, I have stumbled upon the old internet movement quite recently and I really love it, I want to jump on that bandwagon as well. Good old days 😀 I feel like grandpa. I am curious where we are heading with all the sh…t thats happening.
