The 21st century is the new dark age

I had to laugh at an article I saw on the BBC about people hoarding old fashioned light bulbs. Basically some people don’t like energy saving bulbs as they don’t look as nice, take longer to switch on and don’t produce so much light.

Ben Stewart from Greenpeace says “The time has come to move into the 21st century” but in some ways I have to agree with the hoarders. Moving in the 21st century should mean not taking a step backwards which unfortunately the energy saving bulbs do in one respect.

I’m gradually changing over to energy saving bulbs purely to save cash but they are sooooo dim in comparison to the old bulbs! Unless they come up with better replacement technology we’ll end up back in the dark ages!
