I've been a reader of giz for a while now but this motivated me to sign up.
I think it's great that even though this isn't the most advanced technology (yet) people are still willing to get behind it. #printedsolarled
I too, can get behind such an awesome idea of self-contained illumination for the reasons stated in this article, as well as the seemingly infinite constructive uses that can come from this.
Rosa, I have a question:
Do you know if this can be invested in, and if so, which company is behind this seemingly "cutting edge" idea? #printedsolarled

P.S Long story. Let's just say that I don't appreciate OP-EDs with no clear allowance of reasonable discussion (especially less respect when abitrary and capreciousness ensues afterwards.)
That said, I appreciate MOST of the Gawker writing and editorial staff. The username extension is nothing more than a retort in protest.
It's actually very rare of me, actually (as many Gawker readers can attest.) #printedsolarled

I have my reservations on technologies that can change lives in developing worlds. At the developing countries poor state in terms of just basic infrastructure (sanitation, water, etc.) how are they going to manage all the garbage they end up producing if the developed countries begin introducing these wonderful technologies to them? Will this, and a lot of other great ideas, be a 'too-fast-too-soon' phenomenon? #printedsolarled
@Joseph Lau: 'too-fast-too-soon' is a valid concern, although less valid than it would have been a decade or two ago. 'too-little-too-late' sounds more like it. Surely though, something like this will do more good than harm? #printedsolarled
Nice post, if only there were more innovative people working on these types of things instead of military strength, then we might be getting somewhere. #printedsolarled
Great post Rosa... this is the kind, like solar charging cell phones, and micro loans, that will really help make a difference in people's lives. #printedsolarled

@Duckspwn: Loves Approving Reds: It doesnt happen that often (usually I have my shyt together) but when it does, its EPIC, and always a source of humor. Being me is a constant source of laughter. #worldsolarchallenge
Of course, the irony of this is much the same as the irony of a political candidate driving a chevy volt cross country, requiring 2 SUVs to help tow it when each ran out of energy etc etc...
It's great to see advances in solar technology, but just how large a carbon footprint did all the following vehicles, media vehicles, and roasting kangaroos make??? #worldsolarchallenge
@geekymitch: They produced an extremely miniscule, almost non existent addition to the world's current carbon footprint, while of course trying very hard and researching to find a solution to said carbon footprint. Put that in your cynical pipe and smoke it #worldsolarchallenge
