33 Illuminating Light Bulbs

From Floating Light Bulbs to Distorted Crystal Lamps

— March 16, 2010 — Art & Design
One day light bulbs will be extinct, and all we will have to remember them are the illuminating light bulbs featured in this cluster. Mark my words.

I, for one, am going to cherish this archaic invention while I still can by clicking through this collection of illuminating light bulbs. Show Thomas Edison some love by leafing through all of these nifty light bulbs today.

Implications - As technology progresses, products that are staples in their respective industries are required to update in any and every way possible. Thus, smart companies are adding novelty and new features to their products, even if these products remain successful. This essentially devalues the saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," prompting companies to prepare.
