Potty Training For Geeks

from the from-the-outhouse-to-the-geekhouse dept

We were just mentioning that in this new digital age, bathrooms are the new office, and it appears that plenty of gadgeteers are showing up to help outfit that office. Christopher Amos writes in to point out a story about the growing list of technologies invading our bathrooms -- some quite expensive. It seems that, while most consumer electronics are fighting it out over the living room, a few are aiming elsewhere, to a... more personal room. Once again, we're forced to wonder if, perhaps, Microsoft really was onto something with that iLoo idea.

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.

–The Techdirt Team

    No Subject Given

    While they're at it, it'd be nice if they'd market here what they already have in Japan: A toilet that washes and dries your butt. Would save a few trees.

    right time Vs wrong time

    i can just see it now - your secretary is banging away at the bathroom door for you to take a call from one of your business associates... because she figures that as long as you have a computer in "there", you can take whatever call you would normally take.

    people need to understand - just because you are "available", doesn't mean that you are "completely available" and that some things just need to wait until you are "free" to deal with them.

    there is a right time for things, as well as there is a wrong time for things.... and computer usage while on the pot is one of those wrong times. (imho)
