Domestic Things and TechNology

A  refrigerator  (colloquially  fridge  or  fridgefreezer  in the UK) is a popular household appliance that consists of a thermally insulated compartment and a heat pump (mechanical, electronic or chemical) that transfers heat from the inside of the fridge to its external environment so that the inside of the fridge is cooled to a temperature below the ambient temperature of the room.  The first cooling systems for food involved using ice. Artificial refrigeration began in the mid-1750s, and developed in the early 1800s. In 1834, the first working vapor-compression refrigeration system was built. The first commercial ice-making machine was invented in 1854. Domestic refrigerators and freezers for food storage are made in a range of sizes. Among the smallest is a 4 L Peltier refrigerator advertised as being able to hold 6 cans of beer. A large domestic refrigerator stands as tall as a person and may be about 1 m wide with a capacity of 600 L. Refrigerators and freezers may be free-stan

In Western architecture, a  living room , also called a  lounge room ,  lounge  or  sitting room , is a  room  in a  residential    house  or  apartment  for relaxing and socializing. Such a room is sometimes called a  front room  when it is near the main entrance at the front of the house. In large formal homes, a sitting room is often a small private living area adjacent to a bedroom, such as the  Queen's Sitting Room  and the  Lincoln Sitting Room  of the  White House .

 The world's first robotic kitchen is created by Moly. Featuring an advanced, fully functional robot integrated into a beautifully designed, professional kitchen, it cooks with the skill and flair of a master chef. The prototype was premiered to widespread acclaim at Hanover Messe, the international robotics. 

Service robots  assist human beings, typically by performing a job that is dirty, dull, distant, dangerous or repetitive, including household chores. They typically are autonomous and/or operated by a built-in control system, with manual override options. The term "service robot" does not have a strict technical definition. The International Federation of Robotics (IFR) has proposed a tentative definition: "A service robot is a robot which operates semi- or fully autonomously to perform services useful to the well-being of humans and equipment, excluding manufacturing operations.

A  dining room  is a room for consuming   food. In modern times it is usually adjacent to the kitchen for convenience in serving, although in medieval   times it was often on an entirely different floor level. Historically the dining room is furnished with a rather large DINING TABLE and a number of dining chairs; the most common shape is generally rectangular with two armed end chairs and an even number of un-armed side chairs along the long sides. Edit Dining Room in the  Łańcut Castle , Poland In the Middle   Age, upper class Britons and other Euorpean nobility in casetles or large manor house dined in the great hall. This was a large multie bulk of the population of the house. The family would sit at the head table on a raised dais, with the rest of the population arrayed in order of diminishing rank away from them. Tables in the great hall would tend to be long trestle tables with benches. The sheer number of people in a Great Hall meant it would probably have h

Television  ( TV ) is a telecommunication medium used for transmitting moving images in  monochrome  ( black and white ), or in colour, and in two or  three dimensions  and sound. The term can refer to a  television set , a  television program  ("TV show"), or the medium of  television transmission . Television is a  mass medium  for entertainment,  education ,  news , politics, gossip and advertising.

A  domestic robot  is a type of  service robot , an  autonomous robot  that is primarily used for  house hold  chores , but may also be used for  education ,  entertainment  or  therapy . Thus far, there are only a few limited models, though speculators, such as  Bill Gates , have suggested that they could become more common in the future.  While most domestic robots are simplistic, some are connected to  WiFi  home networks or  smart environments  and are  autonomous  to a high degree. Indoor robots This type of domestic robot does chores around and inside homes. Different kinds include: Robotic vacuum cleaners  and  floor-washing robots  that clean floors with sweeping and wet mopping functions. Some use  Swiffer  or other disposable cleaning cloths to dry-sweep, or reusable microfiber cloths to wet-mop. Dressman is a robot to  iron  shirts using hot air. Cat litter robots are automatic self-cleaning  litter boxes  that filter clumps out into a built-in waste recepta

Domestic technology  is the incorporation of applied science into the home. There are many aspects of domestic technology. On one level, there are  home appliances ,  home automation  and other devices commonly used in the home, such as  clothes dryers  and  washing machines . These things are itemized below. On another level, domestic technology recognizes the use of applied science to construct homes to achieve a particular goal, such as  energy efficiency  or self-sufficiency. For more information, read about  self-sufficient homes . It has been claimed that domestic technology has led to decreases in the time people spend on household work, although the factual basis of this claim is disputed (Bittman et al., 2004).

Domestic Violence: The 12 Things You Aren't Supposed to Know

An exhibition with the aim of showing new concepts in domestic products based on resourceful use of materials, found objects and digital data. The exhibition, conceived and curated by Hans Stofer, aimed to be interactive, international and collaborative.  Domestic Things brought together eight makers who made work specially in order to question the purpose of objects, social relations and the dialogue between individualistic and mass production. Stofer's curatorial research focused on critical and interdisciplinary thinking in design as well as a commitment to the handmade object, and also on strategies of display which fully engaged the audience in thinking about the literal and metaphorical 'place' of things in domestic life.
