I appreciate all your opinions, and I think they're right. I was just
asking, though.

Hey, if it wasn't for dreamers who ask, "What if...." we'd never
have most of our great inventions!

Before the light bulb, there was no demand for electricity in residential
areas. Then, Thomas Edison invented the light bulb and the rest is history.
Electric companies sprang up to supply power to light homes and cities. With
widespread availability of reliable electric power other inventions were born
and other disciplines, such as electronics, spawned inventions and
discoveries of their own.

If Thomas Edison had stopped at the phonograph (the first phonograph was
purely mechanical and employed no electrical circuits whatsoever) and never
invented the light bulb, we might not have computers and the internet today.

Without the light bulb, the motion picture projector might not have been
invented, and there would be no Hollywood.
