Tangentially related.. The creation of the blue LED was so revolutionary, and took so much effort and science to make, that the guy who discovered how to make blue LEDs got a nobel prize.
And now every bargain bin piece of electrical crap.has an annoying blue led that makes it impossible to have in a bed room
The engineers still can't get over how exciting they are.
Seems like the next novel prize should go to someone that makes a dim led that doesn't blink all the time.
