Does technology make things more convenient?

See those stones? Those are ancient toilets. Yes, it’s pretty gross.
Imagine yourself using it. It’d take a lot of work and resources to get things done. You’d develop butt calluses, or worse, something under it might bite you. Not convenient.
Bonus info:
Some may be wondering what’s with the keyhole shape design.
It’s to provide access to the sponge mounted on a stick which was used for wiping. The sponge was then rinsed in the shallow water channel in front of the toilet before being placed in a bucket filled with 'disinfectant' sour wine or vinegar. It was then left there for the next user.
Yup. They share it.
Here’s what technology has brought us:
It automatically lifts the lid and warms the seat. It cleans itself and it cleans you up. You don’t have to touch anything, and you’ll never have to scrub the toilet again.


The word convenient is not enough. Technology pampers us.
