Imagine a race, recently learning how to be amphibious. Eyes work well in water, not so well in air. Imagine hands like frog digits, a need to stay moist - if not wet. Can be warm blooded, or not - but heat doesn't affect them much (but dehydration does.) There's two kinds of 'air' for them, thick (water) and thin (gas).
Imagine trying to create a technological civilization, when you can't see clearly. What's the first thing you'd develop?
Goggles - to keep the water in. Maybe w/water bladders, so the water could be changed occasionally.
I don't see their offices in the thin having carpet...
