  19. 1.2.2 Identify factors from past eras that influence the evolution of present and future housing styles • 1st technology—natural materials—caves, logs, grass, mud, snow, rocks, bark, etc. • Next step was to improve on the natural material, ex. Saw logs into planks, rocks were chipped into blocks, animal hides became coverings for windows and doors

  22. Technology • Future (and now) • Computers will run many household systems • Smart houses— • Checks AC temperatures • Refrigerators for supplies • Order groceries and have them delivered • Energy Saving devices • New Cooking methods • CADD (Computer Aided Drafting and Design)
