This is a note following your recent<br />
issue on technology (“Today’s Smart<br />
Home,” July/August <strong>2015</strong>). We make<br />
insulation from sheep’s wool sourced in<br />
New Zealand and processed in Reno,<br />
Nevada. We consider ourselves lucky to<br />
participate in a quest to create awareness<br />
around an old “technology” that<br />
has been not much more than underappreciated<br />
since the proliferation of<br />
synthetics began. Fortunately, amidst<br />
the race to obsolescence, we find an<br />
increasing lot who agree that nature<br />
does indeed do it better.<br />

As a technophobe, it’s exciting to<br />
read how these new, user-friendly technologies<br />
appear to integrate home<br />
management so families can enjoy the<br />
experience of living together (“Today’s<br />
Smart Home,” July/August <strong>2015</strong>). Thanks<br />
for continuing to cover the topics that<br />
are important while remaining true to<br />
your aesthetic vision.<br />

Kudos for recognizing smart technology<br />
(“Today’s Smart Home,” July/August<br />
<strong>2015</strong>), given <strong>Dwell</strong>’s status in emerging<br />
trends, but this is a very complicated<br />
theme. Today there is still no affordable,<br />
usable unifying interface for all home<br />
systems. Everyone is vying for visibility<br />
in that realm without playing nice.<br />
