The people that harnessed electricity.
Back in the day, people were of a different breed. They laughed in the face of safety. Fear, it wasn’t even defined yet. They were people of action that survived by the work of their own two hands. I think that the greatest of them were the men who liked playing with lightning. That’s right, the people who harnessed electricity. This is how the whole electricity thing played out, trust me...
Benjamin Franklin: Let’s fly a kite during a lightning storm to see if it will get struck by lightning, while I hold it. If it does then we can eventually learn to create lightning on our own.
John Howard: Well then, now that I can create continuous bolts of lightning let me shoot them through this metal cable and not die while trying to plug stuff into the other end of it.
Thomas Edison: Since that worked, let me send the lightning bolt through a tiny piece of metal inside of this glass ball. That's safe, right?
Friends/Family: Good Idea (cue sarcasm and eye rolls).
