Franklin's experiment was merely to prove that lightning was electricity, not to prove that electricity existed. Hence, the name "Father of Electricity" is inaccurate. Electricity was known to exist at least a century before Benjamin Franklin conducted his kite experiment; various mechanisms for the manipulation, creation and storage of electricity had been invented, such as static electricity generators and Leyden jars.
