I personally love automated items which make our lives easier, especially ones that help with hygiene. So this got me to thinking, over the past couple of years we are seeing more automated options in the public restrooms and this made me ask the question: Why isn't the toilet paper automated?
You have to admit, the toilet paper in a public restroom is pretty gross when you think about it. Since technology is taking off at a rapid pace in our homes and with many businesses, I think that in the next 2-5 years you will start to see an automated toilet paper dispenser in public restrooms.
The next questions is, how many squares will you get? 3, 4, 5? Who knows, but it should limit the amount of germs gathered from using a public restroom.
