Why games will take over our lives

Jesse Schell, a game designer and Carnegie Mellon University professor, says toothbrushes will be hooked-up with Wi-Fi Internet connections within five years. The point? If the entire Internet knows how often you brush your teeth and for how long, there's an incentive to brush more often.
