Benjamin Franklin was the first person to discover electricity. He wanted to prove that lightning is electricity, by flying a kite with metal keys in a storm. When the kite string stood erect, he touched one of the keys with his knuckle and was slightly electrocuted. Based on this experiment, he attached lightning rods to his house and he used the sparks produced to illuminate his house.
