Author's note: I wrote this because It popped into my mind after realizing how much electricity my family uses. I am trying to write a serious piece with good vocabulary.
The science world will continue to dig and dive deeper into electricity. If we can know everything about our world and actually cared about stuff maybe we would be able to bring our Earth back to its normal glory through eco-energy. Maybe then we can finally understand nature and truly realize its beauty. The Earth gives us life but it can take it away if we don't give back to it. We need to truly understand our Earth to save it and save ourselves
Electricity is a amazing discovery. For years every one had to use candles to see in the night. Well not after Ben Franklin discovered electricity, or did he? After the discovery of electricity people experimented with it and started making ways to use it for light sources, heat sources, and even transportation. In my opinion electricity is one of the coolest things there is. We can do almost anything with electricity. Even now scientists are trying to find new ways to use electricity. They are trying to make energy efficient cars and planes as well as eco-friendly. If we could harness the sun to a greater extent we could use it to help make solar powered modes of transportation and it would be an eco-friendly source of power that could help eliminate green-house gasses.
The first people to really discover electricity, without knowing they did, were the Ancient Egyptians in 2750 B.C. The first people to try and use electricity using catfish and torpedo rays were the Arab doctors who used the numbing shocks from these fish to cure ailments such as headaches and gouts (whatever they are). The first person to harness electricity through lightning was the famous Ben Franklin which we all know he used a key and a kite. Do you know who created the first source of electricity through a battery like conductor? Well it was the not so commonly known Alessandra Volta. Her conductor was made of alternating layers of zinc and copper. Hey maybe her last name is where we got the term voltage.
