During the middle of the 1800's, life began to change due to one major discovery, electricity (Bill Nye,The Science Guy, has some wonderful information). Machines began to be run by electricity (a good background link to the Utah State Office of Education) making jobs easier and people closer.

Electricity powered many new inventions. Scientists discovered wires conducting electricity were like magnets and any change of magnetism could make the current move. Learn about some of the scientists behind the discoveries who can be found at this site sponsored by the California Energy Commission.
