Assuming the 90-year-old person was born in 1920, it is possible that they already had electricity in their home if they were in a major city. But, they could have been a teenager before they could turn on a light in their room at night. Thomas Edison perfected a reliable, long-lasting electric light bulb in 1879. By 1890 small electrical stations were starting to appear in many US cities. In 1986, hydroelectric power started to spread around the country. By 1930, most major towns and cities had electricity in homes. By 1939, 25% of rural areas had reliable electricity, and the numbers grew quickly.
