An article on the development of water fountains designed for water bottles

Interesting article, but I kinda lol'd at the assertion that if the fountain doesn't fill a bottle in under 10 seconds users will get "bored". If they don't want the experience to be boring, they're in the wrong business. It's a water fountain. I think I can spend ten seconds of my day there.

I filled a water bottle at the work canteen water fountain today. It took more than 10 sec. I got bored. I'm an adult, I can live with this.

I always hum while I fill water bottles, or else rearrange words in my head. But I'm easily amused.
