Cell Phone or Toilet?

A recent study shows that way more people in the world have access to a cell phone than a toilet! The study says that out of earths 7 billion, 6 billion have access to cell phones, but only 4.5 billion have access to a toilet!

This is just crazy. I couldn't even imagine. I thought a lot more people would have access to toilets!

  • There are a bunch of crazy statics in the world! These are two unreal table items. So of course you can make a ridiculous statics. But it's kinda shocking still..

  • lol. this is so funny. but i can imagine this

  • Well you dont exaclty need a toliet.... Well I geuss you don't need a phone either, but I could see how somebody would choose a phone. Without a phone you cant make a call. wothoout a toliet you can still "go."

  • How do they determine these numbers. I find it hard to believe that there is THAT much of a difference. even still that's ridiculous. Toilets should come first, phones are more like an accessory to toilets.

  • I would much rather have access to a toilet than a cell phone! It's sad that more people can afford cell phones but not a toilet. That would be gross to not have a toilet! It isn't that hard to communicate with people in person or by any other way, so a toilet would be much better.

  • This is crazy!! Maybe because they have these cell phones that cost a bunch that they dont have enough money for a toilet!! Very interesting to know though!

  • That's the reason for a lot of sickness in 3rd world countries like that. But an iPhone could probably serve for both purposes.

  • Technology is taking over the world. Pretty soon everything we do is going to be robotic! I dont think im going to like that though! Even this 1:1 thing for school we're doing makes me mad! We need to spend our money helping poor countries than trying to discover more things on technology.

  • This is nuts! I mean seriously? I'd think that A toilet is more important then a cell phone. I'm part of both the 6 and 4.5 bllion so It's not a big deal to me, but I think it's nuts!

  • I can believe this, because for a toilet, you need plumbing which means underground water pipes and maintenance regularly. So many people have cell phones already; it's already as common as toilets. Think about the gross hygiene that's going on. Ewe!
