The bathroom doors where I work now have little toe deals to open the door with your foot. It's pretty slick. Before we got those we had trash cans by the door for the towel users, and actually those trash cans are still there I think.
But we also have touchless soap dispensers (which doesn't make sense to me since you'll be washing your hands AFTER you touch it, makes no difference) touchless faucets, and automatic flush toilets.
And the pirating music bit in that link makes good points. I don't appreciate it when anyone pirates music by downloading it online for free, BUT I also get burned CD's from friends...that's another form of pirating, is it not? That's been happening since the ability to burn CD's has been around. The demand just needs to be addressed. But I don't know how...
