In today's technology-driven age, convenience has usurped necessity as the mother of invention. Take hand washing, for example. While people commonly acknowledge the "need" to wash their hands, their behavior often falls short of this understanding, particularly in public washrooms. This is where electronic plumbing comes in. "No-touch" washroom technology makes hand washing convenient, reducing the user's effort while combating the spread of germs through surface contact. Thus, the introduction of electronics into the public washroom addresses a very real health and cleanliness concern in a manner that users welcome, a winning formula if ever there was one.
So, what is left to say on the topic of electronic plumbing? Plenty, especially if you are in the business of designing systems that rely on this evolving technology.
