Tricked By The Hand Drier - June 15, 2016
I washed my hands in the restroom, then, looked around for a means to dry them. I saw what looked like the familiar stainless steel built-into-the-wall tri-fold paper towel dispenser. Though I didn't see the edge of the next paper towel hanging down, I did see what looked like a sensor.
I thought, "Wow! Could it really be that, with modern technology and advanced electronics, a team of engineers has figured out how to automatically dispense a tri-fold paper towel?"
Now, with all that anticipation and excitement, I placed my hand deliberately, yet cautiously, under the sensor and, then... Success, a noise! But wait, oh, no! No, no, not that! The dispenser was not there to offer me a paper towel at all. It was actually an air blower trying to dry my hands. Oh, well, it is still an innovative design.
