Technology has basically made its way into every single item we have in our households in some form or fashion. The latest technology-driven item though may surprise you. Popularized in Japan and increasingly common in many Asian countries, the United States has started seeing an influx of high-tech toilets.
These technology toilets have features like noise-muffling, odor control, heated seats, music playing speakers, wifi, voice commands and built-in bidets.
Did you know that humans spend an average of 92 days on the loo?
