#4 Besoeker has the right idea for the toilet of the future. After the collapse of the Feral govt and major cities going bankrupt, outhouses will be back in vogue by necessity.

#5 I fear for the day when androids as advanced as R2D2 evolve, and they learn what we did with their ancestors.

#6 I recall the outdoor toilet known as the "outhouse" and pretty much like the one pictured above. It was while I was a young kid growing up in Michigan during WWII. We lived in luxury; we had a two-hole version although I always wondered why one needed a two-hole outhouse. Time in the outhouse was not exactly social hour. The outdoor toilet was a grim place in the Michigan winter and bug-infested in the summer. They lacked any of the technology mentioned in the article. These things (toilets) don't have to be too complicated just functional and reliable. Complicated means more to go wrong. Don't mess with a good design.

#7 Not that we'll ever need it or anything.....
Privy sanitation tip for that has been used for many years.

#8 Designed by women and Uncle Timmy Sitzpinklern with a trendy Asian influence. Looks like a wide stance is in order.

Biometric feedback, eh? I wonder who's getting the feedback?

Hey. Guys, InstaDNA says Abu Hotstuff al Hood just took a dump. And the vid feed shows he's banging his man parts more than his head these days.

#10 Lot of people used to burn shit for fuel - at least dried herbivore shit like cow & bison chips.

#11 Put the biometeric toilets in the doctors office. Then we can go in, drop a load, and leave them to deal with the data on their own time. Perfect metaphor for what Obamacare is doing to doctors anyway.

#12 I can see it now. Men will pee allover it. Unisex toilet police needed. OH!, men will be required to sit. Now I get it.

Mounting this thing looks challenging. No lawyers on the design team!

Let's see. Step up, gingerly turn around, hands on rim, yuck, no, that ain't going to work. Go for it. Whack. OK so far. Now to get up. WTF. Help!!

Lot of lawsuits here!
