Nov 06, 1:04PM

​The Basis B1 band was already the brainiest fitness tracker out there. It would track your pulse, temperature, how much you sweat, and it was even smart enough to tell when you've gone to sleep and when you've woken up without you having to manually set anything.

The best kind of technology is the kind you get to eat

How often have you stared at a piece of technology and felt like you absolutely needed it? That's just consumerism at work, my friends! How often have you stared at food and wanted to eat it?
