:?: Is electricity an invention?? :?:

Fri Nov 21, 2003 8:02 am

why isn't it? electricity didnt just come out of nowhere and then we applied them.

anyway, i think paper is a great invention (by the Chinese, oh yeah!) because it is very important for communication and education, without it, i dont think we'd be here today. :wink:

Electricity is a natural force...all we did was harness it. Did anyone invent lightning? :roll:

Fri Nov 21, 2003 10:26 am

lightning is natural, but dont we have to create the electricity we use? i dont think we have enough natural force to go around. well, i am only 50/50 so i might be wrong. :cool:

Humans have made inventions to harness electricity; electricity is completely natural: fire, solar energy, and so on. Electricity for humans is made by either burning something or by using the sun, and then taking the energy created by those actions and using it. Humans could be used to power stuff, ala The Matrix, as the human body contains an enormous amount of energy. No one invented electricity...it was discovered. :)

That's what I thought!! Electricity is natural!! ( :oops: Shane put it in much nicer words :oops: :lol: )

good point Shane, but still, if it wasnt discovered all that other stuf wouldnt of been invented. aha, there we go :)

...but it still wasn't invented. ;)

Sun Nov 23, 2003 4:32 am

Yeah, it was discovered. If electricity was inveted, so was fire. But it wasnt.

hmm..toilets and toilet paper :D and basketball!

the WHEEL/GEARS

Actually, much of the electrical energy used today is generated from mechanical energy which is derived from natural forces. Anyways, I'd say that the use of electrical energy is very important but it's very difficult to just pick one "great invention." I'd say the Cathode Ray Tube also deserves a mention because without it, there would be no television or computer monitors.

The keyboard.

Fri Nov 28, 2003 2:14 am
