An Electric Idea

There are many mysteries in the world that simply demand being solved, and we get to be thankful that Ben Franklin was around to help in figuring out a pretty big chunk of them. Now, most know Ben for ‘inventing’ electricity. And, of course, he didn’tcreate it… but he did come up with all the terms that we’re still using today. Who else would have thought to combine the value of a lightning rod with the fun of flying kites and shocking yourself!? But, is that truly his ultimate offering to the world?

Consider the shorter folks in the world. Who has the energy to grab a stepping stool every time that you want to get a book? “Nobody!” was the proud answer of our favorite founding father. He knew that folks would one day need a Selfie Stick and that short people everywhere deserved assistance with a longer arm. So, it was to the inventing desk for Ben! In honor of those inventions, our Made by Us team did the same for him.
