Right2write contest: The Invention of light bulb and it's impact in Life.
INTRODUCTION
Hello my dear steemians in this community, I am so glad to be here again to post on this contest concerning the invention of light bulb by Humphry Davy, in 1802. We all know that our electric bulbs play one or two roles in our lives today. Gone are those days we used kerosene lamps to light up our rooms which at the end of the day will produce smokes and which was dangerous to our health. Aside that the invention of light bulb was a godsent invention to the life of man. Like it or not light bulb has really impacted life in a positive way and has very little negative effects which not all including me can observe this effect.
COMPARISON
When comparing life before the arrival of electric light bulb in Africa, you will understand that the light bulb has done nothing but extreme good to us here in Africa.
I can remember vividly when my grandmother told us a story of how she used to fetch snails with one sort of candle-like lamb the lamb was made of thin clothes lines passed through a hole in a can. It uses kerosene as fuel to light up. One day in the bush as they were fetching snails, they saw a big snake in the bush. They decided to run out of the bush, she said the bush was very big that people used to plant bit by bit from different locations. They were running and suddenly their light went off, imagine what you would look like if such had happened to you in the big bush such as that. They became stranded and scattered until morning she discovered she had arrived another place instead of home.
What am I saying, if they had the privilege to have seen the electric light bulb, or even the rechargeable lamps that wouldn't have happened to them. The rechargeable light would be still shining no matter how the wind blew. The rechargeable lamp would only go off after showing signs of battery low.
LIGHT BULBS IN BUSINESS PLACES
But today we use the light bulb and stay no matter what the time is and no matter the amount of wind. The light bulb when places in the lamp holder can hardly fell off. That's why even when heavy wind blows the bulbs are still intact.
LIGHT BULBS FOR STUDENTS
Students are advised to use light bulb instead of kerosene lamps for eye safety. Some light bulbs produce much heat that the candle or kerosene lamps. While some do not have an observable heat.
Kerosene lamb and candles can not be compared with light bulbs. Just like you said they are very dangerous and have set so many life's ablaze. Poeple also loss thire life's. But with lightbulbs. We are good to go.
Yeah and nowadays the design of light bulb has become so attractive that even if you have quality designed bulbs in your business center it does the calling of customers and even the customers won't know. I mean its charming.
This is wonderful, so many processes before we can enjoy it, thanks
Hi @davidalfred,
You have done a proper review of the light bulb.It is one of the most inventions.Back in the day,we use lantern which is powered by kerosene.Sometimes,it creates plenty smoke and soot,it can even be blown off by wind and other inconveniences.
However, electric bulb remains the best because it is more effective and and does not produce smoke is soot.
Thank you for this research @davidalfred, power up to be in club5050
