Airbulb: Finally, a Light Bulb That Plays Music

March 21st - via: geekinsider.com
Creating devices with more than one practical use is an old idea. Take the Swiss Army Knife, one small gadget that can be used as a knife, can opener, screwdriver, scissors, or pliars. Recently that old concept has played a huge part in the technological advancement of society. We have combined more and more of our gadgets into fewer, more versatile devices, making life simpler and easier. Thanks to the ingenious little colored squares we call apps, smartphones have dozens of practical functions that help streamline our lives. But smartphones aren’t just useful in their own right: inventors are constantly coming up with new “smart” objects for our phones to work with that make life easier, be it unlocking our cars or locking our computers. The latest common household item to become smarter and more useful is the light bulb. (Read More)
