I've written about the
frustrating false-flush tendency of automatic toilets before, but here's a new salvo in the arms race between man and machine:
putting toilet paper over the sensor to prevent accidental flushes. This would seem to make sense - until you realize that we're creating a
complex adaptation for a device that was designed to adapt to our inability to use a
simple system in the first place. Seriously, when it gets to this point, shouldn't we just be using a manual mechanical flush handle? The usability path has come full circle, and it seems we should have stayed where we started.
