Hands On With Mother At CES

**CES 2014: Meet "Mother," the Smart Home Sensor System Everyone Needs**

Hello, tech enthusiasts! It’s Elijah Gadget Hunter here at CES 2014 with CAC on the prow, seeking out cool gadgets that do something unique—things you might not have seen before. Today, I’ve found such a product, and it’s one of a kind. Let me introduce you to Rafie and his mother. Wait, this isn’t just any mother—it’s *everybody's* mother. Everyone needs one. This is a new sensor system that transforms ordinary household items into smart objects, offering endless possibilities for improving your life.

### Introducing Mother: The Programmable Helper

So, how does it work? You bring “Mother” home, and she becomes part of your family—except she’s not like your real mother. She doesn’t talk a lot, which might be a relief for some! Instead, she’s programmable, doing only the tasks you want her to perform. The idea is that Mother comes with a bunch of sensors, and Rafie is holding one right now. You attach these sensors to various items in your home, and they transform into smart objects that you can track.

### Transform Mundane Objects into Smart Tools

For example, take something as simple as your toothbrush or a watering can. With Mother’s sensors, these everyday items become something more—something sensitive and useful for tracking your habits. You can monitor your fitness, well-being, safety, and even have fun with things like brushing your teeth. Mother can remind you when it’s time to brush your teeth, making sure you maintain good oral hygiene.

But that’s not all! You can also create toothbrushing tournaments between yourself and your kids or friends—yes, toothbrush tournaments are a thing now! It’s a new concept I’ve never heard of before. The product starts with 15 available applications right out of the gate, but the real excitement is that they’re opening up an API in the future. This means anyone can create new applications for Mother, making her even more versatile and powerful.

### Technical Details and Availability

Now, you might be wondering: how many sensors does Mother come with? And when will she be available? The basic bundle, which is already available for pre-ordering, includes one Mother unit plus four cookies—and no, those aren’t just ordinary cookies. These are likely the sensor attachments that make everything work. The price for this bundle is $222. As for shipping, the first units are set to ship in April of next year.

### Conclusion

Mother sounds like a game-changer for anyone looking to bring smart technology into their homes. With her ability to transform mundane objects into interactive tools and track various aspects of your life, Mother could be the only mother you need. Whether it’s improving your well-being, keeping you safe, or adding some fun to everyday tasks, she’s here to make life smarter.

So if you’re ready to transform the ordinary items in your home into something extraordinary, Mother is waiting for you. It’s the only mother I want living in my residence! Thanks for joining me on the prow at CES 2014. I’ll see you soon—stay tuned for more exciting gadget discoveries!
