Before we start on the other topics, lets actually discuss the meaning of electricity.

Electricity is a form of energy involving the flow of electrons. Before electricity many cities and towns were built alongside waterfalls (a primary source of mechanical energy) that turned water wheels to perform work. But with the beginning of Benjamin Franklins kite experiment on one stormy night in Philadelphia, the principles of electricity gradually became understood. In the mid-1800s, everyone's life changed with the invention of the electric light bulb. But prior to 1879, electricity had been used in arc lights for outdoor lighting. The light bulbs invention used electricity to bring indoor lighting into our homes. But then, Michael Faraday of England and American Joseph Henry separately built the first laboratory models of electric generator in 1832. Hippolyte Pixii of France built a hand-driven model of an electric generator in 1833. Then an American women name Nikola Tesla built the first alternating-current generator in 1892. In the early stages of electricity being sold, it was extremely expensive. It was often times only used for outdoor lighting. It was a luxury that most people could not afford, especially with World War 1, which left many countries in a weak and fragile state. For example; a small portable electric heater is CAD$56.26 and CAD$65.42 for an electric kettle. Though that may not seem that pricey, we must remember that spend $10.00 is the equivalent of spending $113.12 during 1920. Hardly anyone could a The first problem with electricity was the price. The second problem was that fuses were nonexistent at the time being, meaning that light bulbs were major fire hazards. Another problem was that installing electricity in older homes were expensive, most new houses built in 1910+ had electricity built in. Electrification was another major problem since they were not as aware of the ramifications of being electrocuted, nor did they have the tools. Electricity has changed everyones lived in so many ways. For example; it is much easier to communicate with the rest of the world. Electricity has brought light into homes and streets. It has also saved lives because doctors rely heavily on it to help their patients. It also gives us the freedom to search and have information on the tips of our fingerprints. Electricity also helps us manufacture and create goods at a faster pace than manual labour. Simply put, electricity and everything that involves it, has become a way of life for most people, now who is to say whether that is a good thing or a bad thing?
