Wifi lightbulb

Have you ever thought of saving money? What about saving energy? Do you ever use the Internet?  How about light, do you own a light bulb? Well if you answer yes then you will want to hear what I am about to tell you.

You should start fallowing Harald Haas on twitter because this man just came up with a Wi-Fi light bulb. Yes you read it right; a light bulb with Internet on it. With this new technology you would no longer have the need to put your phone up when you fly. The same lights on the plane will give you an Internet signal.

Harald Hass who works at Edinburgh University as a engineer created a light bulb using OFDM technology. This data rates of up to 10 MBit/s per second. They estimate it will be at one GB in the future. With such technology the possibilities are endless.

With this invention many people are not going to be happy; those will be the Internet companies. They are going to have to pull some strings together if they want in the race. There will not be a need to pay for Internet when you can it from a light bulb.

In my personal opinion I think this invention will be complicated because of internet companies. I think they are going to pay Harald Haas off, just like oil companies done with Toyota. With good planning hopefully Haas will be able to compete against such companies.

On the other hand many people would be delighted with this smart idea. Just as Haass said "Everywhere in a day there is light. Look around. Everywhere. Look at your smart phone. It has a flashlight, an LED flashlight. These are potential sources for high-speed data transmission.” (Harald Haas) this is going to be easy for everybody to have since everybody has light. This will be a new revolution to save the environment. For all those people going green, well here you go I don’t think you can do better than this. This technology will save power. Also you will prevent from spending money on monthly bills.
