    Great points here.
    We should use motion detectors more so lights come on as we move through the room and turn off once we leave the room.

      You know a light switch does that right?

      We literally already have them. There are even ones that run on batteries for less used areas you don’t want to wire like closets.

    This is that f the dying world type stuff. We don’t need this at all. Its just more stuff that will end-up in a landfill.

    Seems nice, but I think static is about feeling safe. No predators jumping on you. You can concentrate on your task at hand without having something fluttering in your peripherals.

    Moving parts in rooms? Good idea for an arts project. For everyday life, this is complicated, expensive to create, high maintenance and raised risk for defects and issues.

      You are kidding right?

    No thanks why don’t you come up with something that will actually help people rather then something cool for billionaires

    Probably because moving parts introduce points of failure. If it moves it can break. But still, it’s pretty to have moving things so I see the argument for the aesthetic.

This new way of treating depression starts with rewiring the brain #TEDTalks

The idea that depression comes from a chemical imbalance in the brain has shaped treatment for decades. Neuroscientist Lisa Monteggia shares research suggesting that’s not the whole story — and shows how a decades-old drug could upend what we thought we knew about depression, with the potential to offer relief within hours.

What if science class felt less like studying out of a textbook and more like an unforgettable field trip? From viral glitter-bomb traps to backyard engineering marvels, former-NASA-engineer-turned-YouTuber Mark Rober has spent years proving that curiosity is contagious — and that the best way to teach science is to make it impossibly fun. In conversation with TED’s Whitney Pennington Rodgers, Rober shares how play, wonder and a healthy dose of mischief can transform the way kids learn … and gives a peek inside his plan to bring magic to every classroom in America.
