Electricity is so seamlessly integrated into our everyday lives that it can take on an invisible quality until it suddenly isn't available. A sudden power outage is jarring in its reminder of how much we depend on it: the soft hum of a refrigerator, the light of screens, a city's evening buzz, the creature comfort of cool or warmth. What started millennia ago as curiosity is now the force that shapes our world. But more than just a network of wires, grids, and switches, electricity is the lifeblood of modern civilization, a marvel of human ingenuity that powers our homes, industries, technology, and even the ways we connect.
