Electricity is the technology that is new to my life it changed everything about life it changed the way people see everything. before electric came out we had to tell time by the sun when it rises and it sets. we had to light candels by to peaces of branches rub them together and there gos your light. people hasd to do things different way different from now. now we can tell time,we can watch tv, we can drive cars, we can use computers i dont know what i would do without a phone or any way to charge it, so thats how electricty changed my life.The truth is that electricity has always been around because it naturally exists in the world. Lightning, for instance, is simply a flow of electrons between the ground and the clouds. When you touch something and get a shock, that is really static electricity moving toward you.
The first discoveries of electricity were made back in ancient Greece. Greek philosophers discovered that when amber is rubbed against cloth, lightweight objects will stick to it. This is the basis of static electricity.
Can you imagine what life would be like without it? First of all, I wouldn't be writing this essay on my computer, and you wouldn't be reading it on your computer either. In other words, the world of instant communication which we take for granted, and which we are so in love with, could not exist without electricity. Not so long ago people either communicated with one another on the telephone, or wrote letters, books, or articles in newspapers. Without the computers then I would have had to write this essay the old fashioned way, on a manual typewriter, or with a pen and paper. And how would you read it? we will never know because we live for today and not the past

  1. Hey Brit,

    It looks like you might have just copy and pasted the second half of this blog post. Why don't you try putting all that information in your own words?
