Retromodo: Electric Light is Strange and Terrifying

You know, I thought electric light here in the 19th century was the devil’s work. In fact, I must say that when I walked into this room filled with the strange candle-less fire I almost soiled my pantaloons. Thankfully, Mr. Edison’s disclaimer on the wall put my mind at ease.

    shouldn’t we thank Tesla? He discovered Alternating current which we use everywhere,and Edison discovered DC, which doesn’t light our homes.
