Also, how do you explain away the fact that some of Edison's prototypes still work today, and at comparable wattage to todays standard bulbs? The first post is closer to the mark than some of you are willing to accept. Except the dumb part. Civilized humankind existed for thousands of years without electric lights.

Wouldn't even light up a car's glovebox. With a thick filament we could create a bulb that would last as long, but why? The cool thing about this one is that it was built so long ago and just keeps chugging. It’s burning at 4 watts folks. Wouldn’t even light up a car’s glovebox.

Call it "the little light bulb that could." Now calm down. Folks, it’s a feel good story about impossible odds. Call it “the little light bulb that could.” Now calm down.

"Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms, greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind." Gordon Gekko in the film Wall Street Americans aren’t the dumbest, they’re just the greediest.

First of all...how is it..that you can have a-light-bulb that glows-burns for 107 years..and nobody wants to ask the question: WHY DON'T THE NEW LIGHT BULBS ..BURN AS LONG. Why...because the manafacturer..does not want it to burn that long...how else would he make money. This concept of..."let's make a "new one"...started back in the early 60's...and now it has gotten out of control....if it is made in America......www.radiodiary.com Americans are the dumbest people on the planet.
