Surprised it hasn't been superseded meaningfully? Or surprised people are still using it instead of another better tech?

    I think there have been great advances in comfort and convenience factors. The toilet itself and the valve system, hasn't changed in 80 years. It feels like a technology that should have been eclipsed to something more efficient and easier for the sanitary sewer system to handle.
