What you get for around $100 a month...

Sight in the dark.
Heat.
Use of the computer.
Use of my hair dryer.
Use of my straightener.
The sound of a fan while I am sleeping.
The sound of my husband's C-pap while I am sleeping.
Cartoons.
Cold milk.
Clean, dry clothes.
Hot food.
A vacuum that does more than decorate the laundry room.
A porch light.
Security.
Did I say my computer, oops, I got my priorities messed up for a second there.
Children who can get up before me.
No worry concerning how many days I am going to have to go without these things.


Ah, the value of electricity.

And all because of the development of the electric light and the small motor. The first produced rural electrification and the second brought mechanical energy from electricity into the household. The first application I believe was the sewing machine. But think todya of the number of household devices powered by some type of small motor!
