A cultural centre in Amsterdam has installed sensors in its toilets that tell users if theyre taking too much time. The sensors, linked to a computer called Private room 02, have been installed at the Cultural Centre De Balie.

Toilet users will also be given a reminder if they fail to flush the toilet, smoke, dont put up the toilet seat, or use too much toilet paper. Inventor Leonard Van Munster said if sensors in the toilet feel someone is trying to make a mess, theyll be warned to leave it tidy, says the nu.nl website. He added: The computer has developed its own moods. Sometimes he doesnt say anything, but will then suddenly start to sigh. ananova
