Electricity lights your home.
Cars, buses, trains, and planes speed you to your destination. Radios and iPods give you the music you want to hear. Television and iPads entertain and inform. Phones and Facebook connect friends and family. The Internet connects you to the world: Want to know what’s going on in China? In Washington, D.C.? In your state? Your city? Want to know the latest baseball score? Listen to the latest song? See the newest video? Just log on. It’s all there.
