This so-called “Interactive Toilet” was created with $18 worth of materials as a project in Architectural Robotics at Clemson University. It is “interactive” in only one way.
We can easily imagine the terrifying scenario that a toilet-training tot might encounter using this for the first time: an alarmed toddler who discovers that his evacuations are the very alchemist’s potion that imbues the toilet with life… a toilet which, delighted with its new found sentience, begins to sing and demand high fives.
The result of mass production? A nation of middle-aged diaper wearers.
