"He made electricity."
He most certainly did not, he rather discovered it and made the light bulb, but never patented it. This was done by him flying a kite in a thunderstorm with a key attached to it to get the electricity to the key. I am not sure why or how this helped him figure out electricity though. Thomas Edison took his credit for the light bulb. He did however successfully make the fire station.
ANSWER:
Here is a little more info on what Benjamin Franklin invented: Ben Franklin invented the lightning rod, the glass armonica (a glass instrument not to be confused with a metal harmonica), the Franklin stove, bifocals, and the flexible urinary catheter. I believe he also created Braille. As for the statement above, he did invent the light bulb, but that didn't have anything to do with his flying kite experiment. I think that it was just an experiment to see if lightning was electricity (which it is). (Please correct me if I am wrong on anything, thanks!)
He did not create Braille. That was Louise Braille.
