I often remark to family and friends that the human race wasn't ready for the capacity for instant communication with 'everyone everywhere all at once' but perhaps that was overly pessimistic and we are developing that muscle.

Fantastic summary!

I wonder if the economics will make enough sense to overcome entrenched interests and the legislation backing them.

It be great to have efficient incandescent light and put the failed promises of LED longevity behind us.

oh my, classic
