Why's this man unhappy?
Could the day be coming soon when people look at the pic on the left and wonder what Thomas Edison is holding in his hand? Lomox, a Welsh company, is developing light-emitting wallpaper and paint that may begin to replace light bulbs as soon as 2012. According to a TimesOnline article, the wall coating will illuminate all parts of a room with an even glow, which mimics sunlight and avoids the shadows and glare of conventional bulbs. And the developers claim that the new LED technology is 2.5 times more efficient than energy saving bulbs. When can we start re-painting at Burke?
Don’t worry Miss Mingle – Something there is that doesn’t love a wall – at least until now. And if the wall color treatment doesn’t suit – there’s always good fences which are said to make good neighbors. http://writing.upenn.edu/~afilreis/88/frost-mending.html
Wait — how will they turn it on and off? Will all walls be painted white? Does this mean the end of beautiful rose colored walls (and glasses)?
