The Age of Electric refers to the period in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when electricity became widely adopted for various uses. This era saw the development of electrical infrastructure, including power plants and transmission lines, which enabled homes and industries to access electric power. Innovations such as the light bulb, developed by Thomas Edison, transformed daily life by providing a reliable source of illumination. During this time, electric-powered machines began to replace steam and water power in factories, leading to increased efficiency and productivity. The introduction of Nikola Tesla's alternating current (AC) system further revolutionized electricity distribution, making it possible to transmit power over long distances. This shift laid the foundation for modern electrical systems and technologies.
