Central heating and air conditioner has changed our lives in many ways, and no longer are my nice friend and I subject to the dire temperatures that nature can throw at us.
- We have temperature controlled spaces to escape cold cold or oppressive heat.
The truly first a/c machine was used by a publishing contractor in NY in 1902. The high humidity in the summer time made it necessary to have an a/c, because the ink would not dry respectfully otherwise, but later on in the 1930s, air conditioner was not yet widespread at all. However, suppose it or not, Regal Cinemas were one of the first corporations to have a/cs. It makes a certain kind of sense! Combining a possibility to beat the heat with a nice film for entertainment was a powerful incentive, and that is why my nice friend and I now have the phrase “summer time blockbuster”. Summer break for university was even supposedly implemented because the excessive heat and humidity in the summer time was simply too much to reasonably expect youngsters to attend university during such times in certain parts of the country. I sure was glad for the a/c in the summer time when I went to university! Great a/c was one of the reasons it was so straight-forward for me to fall asleep in history class! Anyway, I think my nice friend and I should all be grateful for the invention of current central heating and air conditioner. I am pretty sure no one ever wants to go back to a time when my nice friend and I were at the mercy of the elements!
