DC (dirrect current) electricity is not used in homes, because different appliances (lamps, TVs, etc.) use different voltages. By using AC electricity, each appliance can take the voltage it needs. If we used DC, some smaller appliances would constantly burn out, because the voltages are far too high.

Why cant you shower when there's lightning out?
You should avoid showering during a lightning storm because metal plumbing and water can conduct electricity. If lightning were to strike your home, the electrical current could travel through the plumbing and potentially harm you. It's safer to wait until the storm has passed before taking a shower.
What would happen if there were no lightning?
If there were no lightning then the clouds would not discharge excessive amounts of static electricity which would also have the effect of having a lower amount of ozone in the air which in turn may affect the ozone layer. There would no longer be fatality's as a result of lighting strikes. power surges that damage machinery would no longer be the result of lightning. Lighting also starts bush fires so they would be gone in the future as well. there are probably many more effects of lightning that I cant think of.
How do lightning rods protect structure?

What are the Advantages of air not being a conductor of electricity?
if air is a conductor of electricity ,then everyone will be undergone for great electric shock because air is everywhere . without air we cant live . Air can be a conductor but is a better insulator! An example of it conducting is lightning. If it was not a better insulator we would not be able survive. Another advantage is: the ability to string high voltage wires for the transmission of electricity.
