> our light bubs have more powerful computers than the first computer many of us once owned

Mine don't, and I first owned an AtariST with a 68000 CPU.

These are "smart bulbs". We are still in the .com bubble of IoT, so there are going to be a lot of silly things we can run Doom on for a while until it dies down. Lights don't need computers to operate, but that doesn't stop people trying to add "features" to lights with computers.

Computers have lights, why shouldn't lights have computers?

Nuclear power plants have phones, why shouldn't phones have nuclear power plants?
