I would make a bet that most of the people reading this page will not know who Willis Carrier is, or why I hold him in such great esteem. There are so many things in modern life that we take for granted - so many inventors, so many things that make our lives so much more comfortable than in the past. Just in the last hundred years or so, we have seen great strides in the world of technology, cars, trains, airplanes, electricity, nuclear energy…the list can go on and on.
Enter Mr. Carrier. His invention has probably saved countless lives. It makes life bearable in the hotter regions of the world. It makes places livable that otherwise would not have been. Have you figured it out yet? If not, here goes:
Willis Carrier was responsible for inventing the modern Air Conditioning system! Now can you see why, a person living in the desert, feels the need for a great tribute to this man? He’s right up there for me!
Every morning that I wake up and I hear that click of the condenser come on, and the cool fresh air come out of the vents, I am well aware of how grateful I am for air conditioning. When I head to bed and know that I will be comfortable over night without opening my window and sticking a fan in the window so that I can breathe at night, I thank God for Mr. Carrier.
He has truly made my life better. I don’t do well in the heat, and his invention has made me able to live my life without the worry of overheating. I can drive places I wouldn’t normally be able to go to.
You may think I’m exaggerating, but if you live in the desert, air conditioning is a life saver. You too, will become a Willis Carrier fan, and you might even throw up a prayer of thanksgiving to God for him being born, and for his intelligence to figure out the mechanisms of an air conditioner.
