### The “Revolutionary” Gadgets No One Asked For
This year’s Computex presented us with a plethora of gadgets that seem to answer questions nobody asked. Here’s a quick rundown:
– **AI-Driven Toothbrushes**: Because brushing your teeth manually is so 2019. Now, your toothbrush can tell you how you’re doing it wrong in real-time. Perfect for anyone who has a masochistic relationship with oral hygiene.
– **Foldable Toasters**: Yes, you read that correctly. A toaster that folds for “portability.” Because nothing screams “tech innovation” like squeezing your toaster into your backpack.
– **Smart Socks**: These socks promise to monitor your foot health, track your steps, and probably judge your life choices while they’re at it.
While these gadgets might make you roll your eyes, they’re a testament to how far companies will go to slap the word “smart” onto anything. Still, you have to admire their commitment to the bit.

AI was the star of the show, as always. From “intelligent” refrigerators that suggest recipes based on leftovers you forgot you had, to AI assistants that are now “emotionally intelligent.” Yes, apparently your virtual assistant can now feel bad for you when you’re crying over burnt lasagna.
But the pièce de résistance? AI-powered dating apps that promise to find your soulmate using algorithms so complex, they make quantum physics look like kindergarten math. Because nothing says “romance” like being paired by a machine with zero understanding of human emotions.
For those interested in the nitty-gritty, here’s a link to a deep dive on AI advancements that might actually be useful.
