The discovery of electricity, and the harnessing of it by man, has made the world a better place to live. The earliest discovery of electricity was made by Banjamin Franklin. His kite experiment demonstrated that lightening was electricity. This discovery lead to the invention of the light bulb. He was also the first person to use the terms positive and negative charge.

Everybody’s life would be entirely different if we hadn’t been able to harness electricity for our own uses. We wouldn’t have any televisions, phones, artificial lighting and any gadget at all that relied on electricity. Our lives would be dull and boring, and kids would be even more destructive and reckless than they are now, just to give them something to entertain themselves. But the way we tend to use electricity nowadays, is pretty good but could be better in many ways. We are using it right by converting it into something that we need or things to keep us entertained. But we could be doing better by not wasting do much of it on indoor entertainment, while we could be outside getting exercise. Also, we could make sure that we turn off our computers and lights when we leave the rooms or are no longer using them. This results in a huge waist of electricity in our lives today. The way the we harness electricity however is very effective, and good for the environment in many ways. We tend to use many windmills all around the world, where it can be afforded. They are very expensive to put up, but in the long run it is better for preserving our world, and getting easy electricity. The way we use the windmills so effectively is by adjusting the windmills to the course of the wind, and the wind pushes the blades of the windmill in circles. As the blades rotate they are obtaining electricity due to the movement in the generator. Also another way we harness power effectively and environment friendly is by ‘water generators’. For example the ones behind Niagara Falls. As the water produces wind and...
