Welcome back to Mike’s Nerd Bytes—Snack-Size Bytes of Tech, Science, and More! I’m your host, Mike Maione.

Today, we’re diving into an invention so fundamental to our modern world that it’s hard to imagine life without it—electricity!

Now, I know what some of you might be thinking: "Wait, wasn’t electricity always around?" And yes, in a sense, it was. Lightning, static shocks, and even electric eels have been throwing sparks since before humans ever existed. But harnessing electricity? That’s the real game-changer.

So, who actually invented electricity? Well, no single person did. Electricity isn’t something we create; it’s something we discovered and learned to control. That journey took centuries of curious minds, accidental breakthroughs, and a whole lot of trial and error. Let’s take a trip back in time to see how it all unfolded.

Episode four of my personal top ten inventions of all time series!
