Japan brings technology to toilets
As I have said before, talking about toilets is not a normal thing for me to do. Unless there is something cool about them, or they look like this one above.
This photo was taken in Japan and shows that some places in the high tech country are still have old fashioned when it comes to basic things like toilets!
Imagine seeing this in a bar when you are on a night out, or when you just couldn’t wait till you got home and had to go to a public toilet!
However, don’t let this put you off going to Japan. They have some new ‘posh’ ones for your home now :-). Ones with heated seats, auto flush and even accept SD cards for the built in mp3 player - as standard! The seats are even angled for when you are throwing up to make it easier! Every student should have one!
Oh yea, it even has a night light so you can see where your (fill in the blank) is going! Look at this diagram highlighting the ‘benefits’ below!
This picture is another similar model’s ‘control panel’. Yes. They have toilet’s with not just a flush, but actual controls!

This is one of the spray features to clean (fill in the blank). Not too keen on this idea, but for some it might be cool. ![]()

Not to forget the elderly in this technology boom. This one offers help to the elderly to sit down and stand up. It tilts electronically! I don’t know how effective that can be if you are bursting to go, since you’d be waiting for the motor to tilt it up then down just so you can sit! I guess its better than falling into the toilet at the top and getting stuck!
