It's funny how we human beings never take a second to think about or appreciate the history and aspects of the objects we use daily. An example of such objects is toilets. A toilet is a structure or sanitation system used for the disposal of human feces and urine. The toilet is usually found in a small room called a toilet, lavatory or lavatory. Modern toilets, especially those in urban areas, consist of a seat hinged to a bowl connected to a drain pipe through which stools and urine are discharged (CBC 1). This article discusses various interesting facts about toilets, such as the history of invention and technological advancements in manufacturing toilets, as well as the impact toilets have had on society. Additionally, it highlights the inventions that led to the invention of toilets. Ancient civilizations such as Mohenjo-daro and Harappa built toilets that were connected to a simple sewer system with running water. John Harington was credited with designing the contemporary flush toilet in 1596, but the system became widely used in the 19th century, with Thomas Crapper recognized among the earliest toilet designers. Contrary to what some people tend to believe, Sir Thomas Crapper did not invent the toilet but contributed to the design of the flush toilet. Even before the invention of flush toilets, sewers and toilets were used in many parts of the world. It was found that the Mohenjo-Daro had the most efficient toilets, built into the exterior walls of their homes. The toilets were created from bricks and wooden seats were placed on them. The first flush toilets were documented over 2,800 years ago and used by King Minos. People commonly used chambered bowls during the Middle Ages...... middle of paper ......d, as evidenced in Sierra Leone and Guinea. People in the modern world should be grateful to Sir Thomas Crapper and John Harington for inventing such a crucial object for our lives. The two men don't get much credit, but wherever they are, they should know they did a great job. The minds behind the discovery of toilet paper, ceramics and water recycling systems have also done excellent work. These discoveries were instrumental in the creation of modern toilets.
