As with all new technology, the price will eventually come down.
- anandaverma 12y agoCorrect, but I am not finding it cool it really reminds me that someday we won't have sun or open air :(
- davidrusu 12y agoWhy so pessimistic, Think about all the great use cases of this tech eg. When Elon Musk gets his Mars project going these will be invaluable to have on the spaceship. Or imagine a nyc with all buildings below ground, above ground, the entire city could be a park.
- anandaverma 12y agoHmm. Agree on that Elon is like the creator in Matrix Movie :)
- ch4s3 12y agoThese would be great in hospitals, not just for patients, but also people that work on the night shift and never see much daylight.
- anandaverma 12y agoTrue that for people work in night shift will have fun with it. Also countries like Denmark where they hardly see sun will be glad to have this technology.
- Shish2k 12y agoIf we have fake sun and air which is indistinguishable from the real thing, why would you want the real thing? I'm actually quite excited by the same reason -- if we can ween ourselves off of the sun with no side-effects, then that's one less roadblock between us and interstellar travel :D
- anandaverma 12y agoIt is just a way of thinking :)
- Eric_WVGG 12y agoinsert the “take my money” meme/gif here. “Light boxes” are a joke. The day these are even remotely feasible for consumers I will early-adopt.
