Technology being incorporated into textiles creates many new opportunities for the usability of things. These new things that are being developed such as wall coverings that control temperature, shows that comfortability is important in interior design. I see positive outcomes with the new technologies being created. For example, the Organic Light Emiting Diod conserves 50% of lighting energy. The article also states how they are working on a project to have plastic sheets of light, eliminating electricity usage and costs. I don’t think new technologies will take away the traditional creativity that interior designers have. If anything it will make them more creative in finding the best materials/items relevant to their clients’ needs.
