It’s time to talk about a fork, folks.  I know, who would have thought a fork deserved that much attention?

I didn’t attend CES, but because I love technology, I like to see what smaller companies are doing. It used to be fun with the large companies, but now they are constantly “leaking” information that we all know what they’re doing.  A fork isn’t exactly what you would think I would be talking about, but I am, and I’m very intrigued by it!

One product that jumped out at me though was the  HAPIfork Bluetooth connected fork, for eating.

This fork, connected via bluetooth (although, from a few articles I read, it said USB too)  to your phone, will help you stop shoveling food in your mouth, and help you start eatting mre slowly.  It will actually vibrate if you’re eating too fast. WHAT? How awesome is that!?

This fancy little device is only $99 and you can preorder now! I’m so tempted, I think this is so interesting!

And, because you know how I feel about fitbit and the fact that they lie about it being fully compatible with mac… they also have something similar. It’s called the HAPItrack. “HAPItrack is an activity tracker that motivates you to be more active, helps you stay in shape and captures your HAPImoments.”

It’s SO CUTE! And because that isn’t enough, it appears based on what I could see on the website, there’s a wrist band on the way that tracks sleep and stress.  Should be interesting.  I can’t afford $300 for everything to test it out, kind of have a baby we’re trying to adopt and all, so maybe they should have a blog giveaway (hint hint)

I love fun, new technology that can help us live healthier lives. Even if it seems silly, it has an impact. Would you buy it?
