The percentage of American adults who describe microwave ovens as a necessity
rather than a luxury has more than doubled in the past decade, to 68%.
Home air conditioning is now considered a necessity by seven-in-ten adults, up from half (51%).
And more than eight-in-ten (83%) now think of a clothes dryer as a necessity.
i can imagine how nice it could be...
THINK. Imagine yourself living there for 3 days.How to shower, use the toilet, read, cook (?), relax, receive guests, etc... Is it practical? Functional? Inviting? Pleasant? NO. NO. NO. NO.
