A new accessory for the iPad designed to entertain kids whilst their parents are put through the excruciating trials of potty training them is indicative that we live in the digital age.
According to the Associated Press, the iPotty debuted yesterday, January 9th, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
The colorful toilet training accessory was designed by CET Digital and will be in retail stores in February for just under $40.
The hard plastic, rear-facing, toddler-sized toilet comes complete with a lid as well as a pee guard for the boys.
The iPotty easily comes apart for cleaning, and it has a transparent plastic shield to protect the iPad.
This unique iPad accessory does not come with an app, but before the CES show ends this week, you can bet developers will be hard at work creating their own version of a kid-friendly crapper app.
If your child ever gets bored playing “Angry Birds” or whatever the latest game craze is while sitting on the iPotty, they can always download “Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader for Kids Only!”
Who knows, the iPotty may catch on so well that Amazon, in an effort to grab a share of the market, puts its tech team to work to come up with the KindleKan, an adult-sized toilet designed for the Kindle Fire HD.
Men would never come out of the bathroom!
And one more note: The iPotty may alter the universal triumphant phrase that proud young ones shout when they "go" for the first time on their own - "me potty" may become "I potty!"
