This is a good meme for these sort of technologies. Instead of gee whiz devices, they must fulfill a clear need. So much of this information today however is delegated to mobile devices. It makes this less and less of a necessarily prominent feature. Isn't this the way that technology should progress? Going into the background of our lives, making the important priorities of life stay in the forefront.<br /><br />Another reality though is that there is plenty of electronics that are wired into buildings - perhaps sun tracking shades - etc. There will always be manufacturers peddling their wares, but a better meme is the move to passive structures. The indian teepee is a perfect example of this. It even left no structural footprint behind.Slight Chance of Rainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13572708468428035186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531343.post-55138417857784371342009-09-09T23:01:14.333-04:002009-09-09T23:01:14.333-04:00as a follow up... you should check out some of the...as a follow up... you should check out some of the things they are doing at the Guggenheim in NYC..<br /><br /><a href="http://www.landscapedesigner.me" title="New Jersey Landscape Designer NJ" rel="nofollow"><b> New Jersey Landscape Designer NJ </b></a>Brian T.

I feel that the combination of architecture, technology, and advertising will merge and possibly create quite a mess.<br /><br />http://www.LandscapeDesigner.me<br /><a rel="nofollow"> href ="http://www.landscapedesigner.me" title="New Jersey Landscape Designer NJ" </a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
