The other is summed up by a funny Internet spot last year for Cree's superefficient light emitting diode (LED) bulbs: "The light bulbs in your house were invented by Thomas Edison in 1879. Now think about that with your 2013 brain. Do you still do your wash down at the creek while your eldest son stands lookout for wolves?"
