His discovery of electricity allows us to use anything electronic, such as video games and computers. His bifocals help the people that are a little blind see normally or better. His rods saves homes from lightning.[1]
Benjamin Franklin was an American statesman who helped to write the Declaration of Independence. But he was also a writer, publisher, printer and inventor.
Franklin proved that lightning is a form of electricity with the famous, and very dangerous, kite experiment. That experiment led to his discovery of positive and negative electricity and to his development of terms we still use today: battery, conductor, condenser, charge, discharge, electric shock, and electrician.
The lightning rod was among his inventions, along with the Franklin stove and bifocal glasses. Franklin also organized an effective postal system, mapped the Gulf Stream and recognized the aurora borealis as an electrical phenomenon. [2]
How would the world be different without his discovery?
Ben Franklin was an extremely interesting person. He was a statesman, inventor, printer, postmaster general, scientist, and patriot. There is no doubt that the world would be a different place had Franklin not lived. Some of his extraordinary accomplishments are his invention of bifocals glasses, the Franklin stove, fins (similar to flippers in underwater diving). He harnessed electricity writing much on its potential. He started the first fire company and street lighting company to ensure safety on the streets. He published two newspapers, 'Poor Richard's Almanac' and the 'Pennsylvania Gazette' in order to inform the public of their surroundings. Franklin was responsible for securing the funds from France to foster the patriot cause in America. He was a great negotiator of treaties with foreign nations in order to strengthen America's position in the world. Franklin was instrumental in not only changing the world we live in he helped to create the world we live in.[3]
