Summary Tech Reading

          In the article How Science and Life Interacted During the American Revolution complain by Danny Blas we learned, how cities spread dramatically due to the people moving in to the cities. Technology such as steel helped America reach the skies by building taller buildings. Coming up with the elevator that reached the top and is more assessable for people.

  Technology changed how people moved around cities because, we created above surface, on surface and below surface transportation. Above transportation refers to airplanes. On surface transportation is known as street cars and, below surface are subways.

            Technology also changed the way we learned and read. Back before the Industrial Revolution people couldn't be informed rapidly, but now with the invention of the printer people could be informed at an earlier time. With paper printing every day and having newspapers and magazines people would be informed at any time of the day.   

             In the article The Passive House: Sealed for Freshness by Sandy Keenan we learned that a passive house is an environmentally responsible house without traditional heating and air conditioning systems.  Some people argue that passive houses are more expensive, however they are very echo friendly for the future.

          To be certified you have to meet three crucial benchmarks. The first requirement is if there has to be a certain level of air tightness determine by a door test. The other two requirements are the measures of energy use. All of this requirements are tested during the construction, they use fog machines and, cameras are brought to detect smaller air leaks. During construction people have different aspects such as Germans they don’t take things into account such as temperature, on the other 
hand Americans do.

            Residents in expensive neighborhood are against passive housing because they are jealous due to the fact that they don’t want different social class with them.

         Technology has changed Americans dramatically in the Industrial Revolution and today as well by transportation and by new materials that people have invented. For example people now can live in high apartments because, we have the technology of elevators and, new materials that are sustainable to hold the building together. Another way that we have improved is transportation people can move from place to place in vehicle or public transportation.
