The Wall Street Journal. has written an article where it discusses the invention of the air conditioning system. It talks about Willis Carrier, the inventor of the AC unit, and the impact this invention had on our lives.
As the article states, “Many people claim to disdain technology, but in last week’s deadly heat wave they were probably doing their disdaining in an air-conditioned room. Our ability to stay warm is a legacy of our fire-loving, Homo erectus ancestors. Staying cool, however, defied a technological solution until the Industrial Revolution.”
The article discusses methods in which people use to maintain cool, such as traveling towards the mountains during hot summer months or using a hand-held fan. Owning an air conditioning system is a luxury many take for granted. It is important to have the ac unit serviced and maintained so that it may continue to do what it does best, keep your Broward home cool during hot summer months.
