Like, for example, Edison spent a ton of time experimenting with, like, different filaments to be using the light bulb.
Like, the basic idea is very simple.
You make something hot and it glows.
But then, like, what actually...
What filament actually works well for that in a product?
What is durable?
What has the highest ratio of light output versus heat so that you have less waste and it's more efficient?
And then even after you have the products, then your face is a problem.
Well, I mean, it's like 1880 or something, and then US homes don't have electricity, so then nobody can use it.
So now you have to build power plants and build power lines to the houses so that people have electricity in their homes, so that they can actually use this new light bulb that you created.
So he did that.
But then people presented it as if it's like, OK, he just came up with the idea.
Like, it's a light bulb.
Yeah, I mean, for what it's worth, if you look at the total surface area of the world, it might well be the case that the place that initially experiences this very fast growth is like a small percentage of the surface area of the world.
Right.
But I think that was the same for an industrial revolution.
It was not different.
Yeah, so I would say our idea is that it's going to be broader than that, but probably initially.
So eventually it would be probably most of the world.
But as I said, because of this heterogeneity, because I think some countries are going to be faster in adoption than others, maybe some cities will be more faster in adoption than others.
