Visited Henry Ford Museum at Dearborn. Among the steam engine locomotives and generators, I seemed to be back to the 1800s and the early 1900s. That was a great time and a great place. Thomas Edison, who invented more than 1000 inventions, was raised in Port Huron, Michigan, and Henry Ford, the founder of Ford Motor Company and father of modern assembly lines used in mass production, was born in Detroit, Michigan.

A house in the 80s

Fuller's dymaxion house
This is an impressive house, which was invented in 1946. The basic structure is a huge umbrella, under which there are 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 living room and 1 kitchen. It takes (maybe a few men) only 2 days to assemble all the parts, and on the 3rd day you can move in. Everything in the house is modern. There's even a motor-driven storage unit. The bathrooms are very easy to clean. You just close the door and push a button, then steam will be generated and go through every corner of the bathroom and take away the dirt. Isn't it awesome?
