When it comes to toothbrushes, you'd think there's not much more you can do with them, right? Think again. Oral-B has introduced a Bluetooth 4.0-equipped toothbrush that records your brushing activity, charts it, and even tells you if you're brushing too hard or too long.

5. Get into the Zone with Thync

Parrot is known for their mini-drones, but at CES 2022, they showed off their eco-friendly side with the Parrot Pot. This plant or flower pot can hold two liters of water and soil, measures light levels, ambient temperature, and soil moisture every 15 minutes, and sends alerts to your smartphone when it's time to water your plants.
