The ancient Greeks discovered electricity in 600 BC
Benjamin Franklin created electricity by using a kite and a pole. Don't get him confused with Thomas Edison who created the light bulb. People do that often. This is how he contributed to the new world.
First of all Thomas Edison did not discover electricity. He discovered the light bulb! Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity you dumb head, and that was in 1752. >:(

Benjamin Franklin had nothing to do with the first light bulb. Electric lights were invented by Thomas Edison about 100 years after Franklin's death.
