Electricity is an amazing thing. After all without electricity I would no be able to be writing this. Electricity revolutionized the world in many different ways. One of the major improvements that electricity made was to industry. Electricity along with the invention of light bulbs allowed factories and businesses to be open longer thus allowing more work to be accomplished each day. Another field that electricity improved it would be communications. Without electricity there would not have been the telegraph thus there would be no telephone, radio or widespread communications. The two biggest people in the field of electricity are Thomas Edison, and Nikola Tesla. Edison invented the Direct Current form of electricity which was dangerous and not very efficient. Whereas Tesla invented the Alternating Current form of electricity, which is the current form of electricity we use today. Electricity has greatly effected the rate of technological advancement as well. After all the majority of things made today run off of some sort of electricity.
