As a society, we take for granted simple things like turning on a light switch. It is interesting to think of Thomas Edison visiting New York City or Las Vegas in today’s age, for him to stand in amazement at all the electric light we now have. Internationally, people are able to work longer and into the night with the help of light. Construction workers can work on highways at night to lessen the impact construction has on traffic. People can even drive at night and do errands that we did not have

I have chosen the classic British rock group, Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). The band was formed in 1970 and their songs are still popular today. Many individuals know the songs of ELO, without knowing the band. ELO was launched following the time of music legends, The Beatles.

of horses. Since steam engines were much more favorable compared to air and wind power, steam engines were used to power factories and coal was used to heat up buildings. By the late 1800s, the world’s first coal powered electric generator was made, the world’s first electric light was used, and the world’s first hydroelectric plant was utilized. A few years later a new type of fuel was becoming well-known, petroleum. Initially it had been an inconvenience for polluting water but by the end of the

successfully use an electric light in 1875. The lighthouse's carbon arc lamps were powered by a steam-driven magneto. In 1870, the light at Wicklow head was fitted with Wigham's patent flashing system, which timed the gas supply by means of clockwork. When this mechanism was combined with a revolving lens in Rockabille Lighthouse, the world's first lighthouse with a group flashing characteristic was produced. The use of gas as iluminant became widely available with the invention of the Dalen Light by Swedish
