25 Most Significant Inventions In Human History

The understanding of electrical currents and using that as a power source brought yet another significant transformation in human life. Electricity, and the ability to channel its energy into a myriad of different tools, ended humanity’s reliance more primitive power sources, and birthed a new way of living that allowed the greater use of automated machines and a lesser dependence on human labor.

By harnessing electricity, humans were able to use more tools, relying less on their own labor to accomplish daily tasks. Everything from cooking to washing clothes to lights to changing temperature became so much easier. As electricity became more prevalent throughout the 20th century, it was molded to fit an entirely new generation of products. The first ones were televisions and radios that were plugged into walls, and then mobile devices that could be powered using batteries. Both of these sets of devices required a completed circuit, which required understanding of how electricity works.

In modern times, electricity has become a necessity for human behavior. Having electrical power is needed for every single product, from the ones used to preserve our food, to the ones that connect us to the rest of the world, to the ones that keep us warm in the winter and cool in summer.

Indeed, electricity paved the way for an entire plethora of more complex and impressive machines that are now regular parts of human life.
