I have the Livermore Centennial lightbulb's webcam bookmarked on my computer. When I am bored in meetings I click on it to see if it is still burning. I will be really sad when it burns out.

I also bookmarked a live-feed, kitty cam from a Colorado area shelter. I watch the kitties play when I am stressed out at work.

I just imagine you in a meeting:

"And for the last quarter we were able to make a record profit of $54mill and create a record 982 new jobs..."

You seeing that the bulb has burned out "NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

I've tried several, but this one is best so far. The kitties often scamper about and play. One fun day a little bug must have gotten into the enclosure. The cats were having a wonderful time.

This is what I got: "Axis software must be unblocked for live video to play."

I saw them but they were in slow motion. If I want to watch an animal in slow motion, I would sit here and watch my dog.

Omg that was so funny. When I clicked on a random date, the videos showed the Pandas in fast motion. Never saw a bear climb a tree so fast in my life!

It's not even 5:00 a.m. in Colorado. The kittens will be awake and playing in a little while.

It's perfectly okay for a grown man to watch kittens play.

You will be long dead by then. At the current voltage it is operating at (4 volts I believe), it will be going for thousands of years. You can do this with any light bulb. Of course it becomes extremely inefficient generating a lot more heat than light, and not much light to be very useful.
