    Benjamin Franklin was the first that thought that the electricity flows between positive and negative elements. He also thought that light was a form of this electricity. He proved that he was right by “The kite experiment”. The experiment was that he tied a key (metallic) to a kite. Then he flew the kite through a thunderstorm. This showed that he was right in his ideas of electricity. This is an important part of technology history because it developed our knowledge about electricity.
