The Next In Thing? TV In Your Bathroom
from the the-bathroom-is-the-new-living-room dept
In an article that dares to suggest that "the bathroom is the new living room" (I think the person who said that actually said it with a straight face), USA Today takes a look at the growing trend of people installing special flat-panel TVs in their bathrooms. The TVs come in all shapes and sizes, specifically designed for bathroom use. There's even a TV that installs in a mirror, so that when it's off, you just see a mirror, but when it's on the LCD screen shines through the mirror. The best bit of justification anyone can come up for one of these in-bathroom TV sets is that when friends are over for movies (and you have the TV in your living room wired to the one in your bathroom) you don't have to pause the movie every time someone needs to use the bathroom. That's gotta be worth the few thousand dollars it cost to buy and install the TV.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
