Microsoft Plans Toilets with Web Access

Toilets with web access are nothing new.

I am more than 70 years old, and when I was a kid growing up our outdoor privy always had spider webs in it. More than once, someone would suffer a spider bite in places most painful.

Bits, bytes, webs -- so what else is new?

Hope this isn't where the 'paperless society' gains a foot hold, or where the new 'electronic paper' is used...

I too am a bit over 70 and remeber when many public restrooms had pay toilets. God help you if you didn't have the right change or the only avail;able toiulet had a jammed coin slot.    

Well, I wouldn't put anything past Gates and crew.

There was a news item a little while back that the Japanese had a lavatory that could analyse, er, "samples" when you went to the toilet. Combine these two and you could get a full medical online while at a rock festival.... (mind you it might also analyse what you'd been drinking and smoking and send a report straight to the cops....)
