trendwatching: smoker’s revenge and responsive lighting
In this trendwatching podcast, Cathi Bond discovers the Crown Seven, a new smokeless cigarette. The question is, will non-smokers let smokers use it in their homes, even though it gives off no smelly or harmful smoke?
Nora Young talks about the AI Light written up by New Scientist magazine. It’s a responsive lamp that changes its level of brightness based on the amount of light available from other sources. Nora says it’s another example of the growing trend towards responsiveness in electronics, and home gear.
