=It lasts until the person is dead, which is very sad. The amount that can kill a human varies so they switch it off when they are certain. I've never heard of anyone who's ever survived, so don't worry they never misjudge nor does the person feel the pain. Does that answer your question=

How have irons changed in the last 100 years?

A hundred years ago irons were made of solid metal. They were set to warm (usually on an open fire) and then used to press clothes. Electric irons first appeared early in the Twentieth Century, and didn't become commonplace in working-class households until the 1940's. But once electric irons were widespread, electric steam irons became a possibility (steam irons became commonplace during the 1960's). Ironing is much easier these days.
