Life in the 21st century certainly has its perks.

The chances are if there's something you need doing, there's a gadget that'll do it for you.

And even though this makes it sound like we're finally living the futuristic dream of our ancestors,

there are gadgets out there that take things a little too far.

From a 10-second toothbrush to a smart toilet that scans you're behind, here are some of the most ridiculous pieces of tech the world has to offer.

But with the overwhelming rise of TikTok and other smartphone-based video sites, this pesky digital shortcoming has become more and more common. But instead of

just making all videos pleasantly horizontal, the world may soon be forced to adapt to this

basically looks like a giant smartphone aimed at making binge-watching social media videos easier

than ever.

In its default state, the Sero sits in a vertical TikTok-ready position position which, coupled with various screensavers and clock faces, looks like anything but a TV.

At one touch of a button, the screen spins into landscape view, ready for old-fashioned video viewing.

But you might want to make sure there's enough space around the TV first, because the Saro's 43-inch screen doesn't come with protective edges,

and considering the $1,400 you'll pay for it, having it smack into your other furniture would be less than ideal.

On top of that, the various potential problems that tend to arise from adding mechanical moving parts to an electronic device beg the question,

is it even worth it?
