Electricity...

I love this question. It inspires you to think about the evolution of something that has become a stable piece of our daily lives. Something so pervasive and value-added, you don't even consider using an alternative or elect not to use it at all. But, people moved from something, made the transition. There was a moment when someone said, yeah I'll give this electricity thing a shot.
