Whoever said disco was dead probably didn’t know about these home speakers. These shimmering reminders of tight pants are designed to hang on your walls and shine along with the music being played. They can sparkle or create a graph that corresponds to the speaker’s equalizer. The set up is controlled with a ring-sized finger gizmo. This controller allows you to play as well as manage your computer’s music.

Likelihood of being built: 5/10

I desperately wish I had one of these–err, I mean, when I was 13. It just looks like the type of set-up you could wire to a wall, then turn off the lights and have a rocking dance party with fun lights. There is no technological reason why this couldn’t be built, but I have the feeling that most people don’t get all aglow for dancing in the dark.

"but how about using something other than bamboo once in a while? How about some domestically-grown, renewable soft wood?"

Bamboo is extremely durable and resistant to bacteria and disease, resists chipping and facturing from light, heat, and moisture stress.

Softwoods are structurally terrible for most things. It is highly unlikely you will ever see them used in this manner.

Solar Blind - The cost of manufacture and maintain (cleaning) such complex device will outweight the benefit (electricity it generates). It is better to put the solar on the roof.
