Wormy Light

Light bulbs aren't bulbs anymore. Remember the cute little icon we use to indicate bright ideas? My new light producers are squiggly white worms where both ends disappear into a closed ceramic cup with a metal plug that screws into my lamps and other indoor light receptacles. Pretty cool if you ask me. And they are actually cool. Those worms use less heat to produce more light than the old technology.
What would Thomas Edison think of that? Probably applaud the physical, chemical and engineering creativity (not to mention research and time) that brought it all about. What else will science produce in my lifetime?
I'm waiting for electricity to be transmitted without wires. As I said before: Beam it over, Scotty.
