i. Specific Innovation of Interest:
Light has already changed people's lives from the past to the present, where people need to work in the dark, to unconstant light supply of candles, fire, oil lamps to the present of lightbulbs and even LED light.
ii. Rationale for selecting this innovation:
I think that light has really brought about huge impacts onto lives of people. With light, people are able to work 24 hours everyday and fully utilize their time to do work and spend time with their families due to the constant supply of light. LED light in specific, it has changed the lives of people and organizations who depend heavily on lights. Replacing the normal fluorescent, incandescent light bulbs with LED lightbulbs will generate cost savings as light bulbs rarely get replaced and it consumes less energy. In the future, if LED light bulb is able to be self-sustainable and everybody is to use the LED light bulb to replace incandescent lightbulbs, it could create a solution to the scarcity of natural resources.
