This is a project for our Arts of Expression class at RIT. We will document the history of electricity by backdating blog entries to reflect innovations in the field of electricity. Because computer time didn't start until January 1, 1970, and a good portion of our entries would fall before that date, all entries will be dated 1000 years in the future (i.e. 2999 = 1999)

Lightning = Electricity
Benjamin Franklin proves that lightning is electricity. In Philadelphia, he (possibly) flew a kite in a storm and extracted sparks from a cloud.
