Three eras have significantly shaped and defined the lifestyles and living stardards of modern man. First came the agrarian revolution (18th Century) which mechanised agriculture and yielded both food and other crops produce in unprecedented scale.
The Industrial revolution (1750 – 1850) which followed brought about large scale manufactureing of all kinds of goods.
Today we are living in the information age. Thanks to the information and communication technology now available, the world has been reduced to global village. Each of the past two eras did influence the styles of home décor employed by those who lived then. This assertion may sound speculative but if the influence of information technology on current home décor is anything to go by, then you can bet that the past eras had their influences on decor.
Let us sample some interesting furnishings and décor items that are motivated by information technology and related gizmos.
