Synthesis

"An ordinary object can move mountains just through history and the importance that people place on it."
When I read this one liner I am reminded of the light bulb and how it has changed the world forever. It brought humanity out of darkness and into the light, literally. Humphrey Davy was the first to invent the light bulb but it was Thomas Edison that invented the modern light bulb which we use today. We are so dependent on light and the light bulb. Without it we would not have things such as the television, nor would we be able to see at nights without having an open flame, nor could we drive during the night time. This was the beginning of innovation because we have also been able to understand how electricity works by looking at the light bulb. We have figured out how electricity flows through currents. Since Edison’s first light bulb we have been able to improve on it and make it better. We now have spotlights, black lights, halogen lights, strobe lights, and everyone’s favorite, Christmas lights. With these innovations we are able to use light as entertainment rather than necessity, now.
