For about a 100 years now the symbol for an idea has been a light bulb often illustrated over someone's head.

What went off over Edison's head when he invented the lightbulb?

Probably a light bulb. That was the idea.

But as a side note: Edison did not invent the light bulb.

Calling it a lightbulb was pure marketing genius.

Today it would have been called a space heater with a small, but usable emission in the visible spectrum.

"Turtle" and "Rabbit" modes?

But first, there aren't any cultural issues with those two animals that I am aware of.

Is the story of the turtle and the hare just an western thing?

Curious,

Since the mode is for watching what is going on I think that a pair of binoculars or magnifying glass would be appropriate if they did not so heavily imply searching for something. Maybe a pair of eyeballs?
