Fifty years ago, in the early 1970s, electricity was primarily used for lighting, heating, and powering household appliances such as refrigerators, televisions, and washing machines. The use of electric power was expanding with the rise of consumer electronics, but many homes still relied on gas or oil for heating. Industrial applications included machinery, manufacturing processes, and transportation systems, while electric power grids were being developed to enhance reliability and reach. Overall, electricity was becoming increasingly integral to daily life, though its use was not as ubiquitous or advanced as it is today.
