Electricity


Thomas Edison was only able to invent the light bulb because of his discovery of electricity.  This is did not just change the world back in the 1880s but for the rest of time. Edison's first big electrical breakthrough was on September 4, 1882 when he provided enough electricity to power a one mile radius of Pearl Street in lower Manhattan.  Today, electricity is everywhere we look from the alarm clock that wakes us up in the morning to the headlights in our cars to the cell phone in our pockets.  Electricity is one of the biggest scientific advancements of the world, this has helped and will help us discover new things in the future.
