Abstract
This paper lists and describes the various technological advances which help to improve the interior design industry. The paper talks about green design, the autoCAD program, formZ and ergonomics. It includes photographs.
From the Paper
"Green products are not necessarily green, "but they are used in a manner that helps reduce the overall environmental impacts of the building."(7) Many aspects make products green. Using old or recycled products rather than making new ones can make something "green". Another "green" aspect is producing products with a longer life so they will not need to be replaced as often. In buildings they can become environmentally safe by avoiding the use of poisonous emissions."

Abstract
This paper examines the contribution of William Morris to the history of interior design. In understanding Morris' diverse work, it is argued that Morris' efforts to reform the aesthetics of interior design in the late nineteenth century England were closely associated with his ideas on social reform. The paper further asserts that, in this context, it can be seen that Morris' early medievalism in particular played an important role in shaping his views on interior design and also influenced his social and political ideas.

Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"The first step in attempting to research and ultimately answer the questions posed in this research is to apply a definition to specifically what is meant by Minimalism in Interior Design. According to Gilbert Brownestone, a curator in Palm Beach, Florida and Paris: "Minimalism is simple to the point of complexity...It evokes a spiritual response from the viewer." (Kim, 2003) The definition applied in the edict of Mies van der Rohe is: 'less is more', Minimalism in architecture is a working method in which aesthetic force and capacity are employed to create an effect that astonishes without the aid of superfluous elements. Its essence ...and its intention is to accommodate life simply but beautifully." (Minimalist Space, 2006)"

Abstract
The paper is a business plan for "Designonline", an online interior design company with a potential client base of millions. The paper analyzes how the company makes use of two trends in American society: the trend toward do-it-yourself projects and the trend toward improving interior design in residential buildings. The company also makes use of the increasing power of home computers by offering simulation iconography and three-dimensional design that is both powerful enough to create designs with our tutorials, and simple enough for the average computer-literate consumer to use successfully.

From the Paper
"Those with large incomes generally hire an interior designer to assist them; those without that level of income have fallen between the cracks, unless they opted for the one-stop Ethan Allen method. Designonline's challenge will be to successfully market to those with "Ethan Allen" incomes who do not wish to be locked into Ethan Allen products, and but are willing to do it themselves to create a more attractive home."

Gothic Design, 2006.
A review of the history of Gothic architecture and interior design.
2,475 words (approx. 9.9 pages), 2 sources, $ 97.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses interior design during and after the Gothic revival of the late eighteenth century, noting that True Gothic architecture originally developed from the Romanesque style, emerging in the twelfth century. According to the paper, this style dominated until the beginning of the Renaissance in the fifteenth century. Gothic architecture is noted for size and elaborate decoration. However, Gothic architecture is first defined in terms of a change in Romanesque church architecture when diagonal ribs were added to the groin-vault, as is first seen at the Abbey Church of St. Denis near Paris.
From the Paper
"Gothic architecture developed in the twelfth century and was revived several times, notably with a major revival beginning in the eighteenth century and spreading throughout Europe and to America. Gothic interior design was included, though it changed over this time and was often more an evocation of the Gothic rather than an actual copy of the original style. From the mid-eighteenth century until the rise of Fascism in this century was a long era in Italian history during which certain trends cold be observed that linked the decades together. At the beginning of this era, Italy as a country did not exist. "

Abstract
Of the countless innovations that emerged during the 20th century, three in particular rise to the top in terms of their relative impact on the human condition. These are the airplane, television, and the atomic bomb. This paper examines the impact of these three technological advances and how they changed the world, followed by a summary of the research in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"According to Tom Chalkey (1993), ?No technological device springs directly from the fertile mind of an inventor into immediate widespread use. Instead, it passes through a number of stages, with successive stages representing greater degrees of practicality or use? (p. 13). The antecedents of the technological innovations of the 20th century, then, can be traced to the last two decades of the 19th century, which many scholars have termed the ?Second Industrial Revolution,? primarily because of the emergence of radically new technologies during this period. Three "new" areas of technology are usually identified as being the most important during this period: 1) chemicals, 2) electricity, and 3) the internal-combustion engine (Szostak, 1995). All three of these 19th innovations would play an important role in the development of other technological advances in the 20th century; for instance, chemistry facilitated the development of the atomic bomb, electricity enabled the widespread use of television, and improvements in the internal-combustion engine allowed the Wright brothers to design a craft that could carry humans aloft. These three innovations are described further below."

Abstract
This paper explains how the abundance of new technologies in the information systems field have altered the very information systems development process itself. The paper also explains how the development of information systems has evolved from a strict database to multi-function abilities, how it will continue to evolve in the future and what factors will affect that development.
From the Paper
"The very nature of these new object oriented databases has caused changes right down to the programming level. As we near the end of this century, designers are now looking at databases that can predict the side effects of medicines, eliminating the need for human trial subjects. Other programs are being designed to put in data for architecture to check building integrity. Auto manufacturers are able to input data and have three-dimensional models to experiment with regarding stress factors and damage."

Abstract
Throughout history, mankind has attempted to determine both the origin and purpose of human existence. Ancient cultures commonly devised richly complex theologies to rationalize inexplicable natural phenomenon. Various cultures generally ascribed to beliefs that man and nature were created and controlled by an assortment of malevolent deities. The field of modern psychology represents the culmination of centuries of cultural beliefs, investigation, and experimentation on the human brain. This paper examines history for significant cultural anomalies, people and events that have greatly influenced our understanding of human brain morphology and cognitive functions.
From the Paper
"Western cultures commonly employed mythology and mysticism as the predominant reasoning for human creation, some extended their beliefs to include mankind as an extension of divinity. The concept of close association between man and the divine facilitated an elevated perception of hierarchy among natural life forms. This anthropomorphized view of life encouraged belief in pagan superstition, discouraging controversy and change. History also provides many examples of how mythology and mysticism encouraged development of ethno-centric and nationalistic divisions."

Using Technology to Pinpoint Specific Student Needs
From the Paper
"OVERVIEW: The remarkable technology advances in America's classrooms over the past ten or fifteen years have changed the way teachers teach and the way students learn. Not every classroom is up to date with high-end digital technology; but many, if not most, teachers have access to the Internet, and other helpful interactive technology tools. Students no longer create essays on typewriters, but instead Apple and Dell and other companies make computers available to schools at low prices. Writers Agapova and Ushakov, in their article, contrast the traditional with the innovative way (through ChemQuest) of teaching in high school chemistry classes. It proved successful. Teacher Mary Rooney in Philadelphia was able to pinpoint exactly where students were falling behind through the use of ISM technology, in Justine Brown's article. And as Devon Duhaney points out in his article, even though some teachers have a fear of new technologies, in a well-planned program by a knowledgeable teacher, there is the opportunity for wonderful interaction between students and teachers utilizing these marvelous technologies. The three articles bring out the point that when teachers have the training they need to implement the technologies fully and fairly, students are more than ready to learn in new and exciting ways. In fact, if teachers and schools do not provide the opportunity for students to learn with up-to-date technologies, students will be bored in a hurry and the learning will be limited."

Abstract
This paper reviews the article "Perfection, But at What Price?" by Michael Valpy, and the article "The Still Unread Book of Life" by Margaret Munro. According to the paper, both articles address the same contemporary issue: how shall human beings cope with the challenges arising from continuing advances in biotechnology? This paper shows how while on one level they approach it from very different viewpoints, some of their key conclusions are the same. The paper further discusses how Valpy is a journalist who approaches the issue by talking to a range of distinguished medical experts. He prefaces this discussion by providing a brief but interesting background summary of some pertinent issues.

Abstract
Examines productivity gains through computer assisted software tools. Benefits. CASE tools. Document imaging. Executive Information Systems. Artificial Intelligence system. Intranets & their benefits to business. Web-based training. Cites danger involved in companies relying on IT as an end rather than a tool.
From the Paper
"Introduction
It is largely assumed that the advances in information technology realized in the latter half of the 1900s resulted in productivity gains in the workplace. Computers were able to perform millions of calculations far faster and with greater accuracy than their human counterparts, robots could work 24-hour shifts without breaks and without varying from a set pattern, and the World Wide Web makes it possible to communicate with individuals throughout the world. There have, in fact, been significant increases in productivity in various work functions, but there are also disadvantages in relying too heavily on technology. This research examines some of the areas which have realized productivity gains (including expert systems and Web.based training), and also considers the trap of information technology."
