This and all the other ideas that have changed the world of our homes are covered in this fascinating book. To show the revolutionary developments in the home the book leaps back in time from the initial idea to the most up-to-date technology. Learn when recording time first began, why velcro was created, how the refrigerator has changes the world, and much more.
