"[N]anny devices seem to have proliferated in the past year. The forthcoming Oral-B smart toothbrush may be “disappointed in your brushing,” as Yahoo Tech reported from the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last week: The gizmo hooks up to an app and provides “real-time feedback” on your oral hygiene skills, joining a similar smart toothbrush from Kolibree. Last year, the smart HAPIfork attracted a wave of attention with its promise to vibrate if it catches you eating at an unhealthy pace. A company called Lumo offers a belt-like contraption that zings you into straightening your spine and has been pre-selling a clip-on device that similarly prods you to “bring your shoulders back and lift your head.” Sensoria Fitness Socks strive to straighten out your running gait."

Like the author, I have wished for a device to remind me about my posture. I even used to think about jury rigging a contraption that would resist my slumping. Are there any habits you'd consider buying a device for?

A nanny gadget to smile and say hello to people rather than looking blankly ahead might help, too.

Not one that would nag me about my habits. Inanimate things should remain that way.
Pogo, I'm sorry you're having a rough time.

Would vibrators fall into this category?
