You know how you can push some buttons on your wall and your house magically warms up or cools down? I know people who were alive before that existed.

I was thinking of central heat and air conditioning accessible to the masses for home use. But you are right that the history of HVAC goes back much farther than that.

Maybe either didn't have it necessary it wasn't widely used, or knew somebody (who was alive 20-30 years ago). Or both.
