           Have you ever wondered what would we do without light bulbs; anything man made that produces lights? Life would be much harder and much more difficult and different. When police officers are going to pull someone over they depend on the their flash lights to find someone that is running away or the lights on the car to make the suspects aware that they are being pulled over. As a matter of fact without lights we wouldn’t be able to drive cars. How would candles replace light bulbs where they belong? Without cars having light it would be much harder to make it to a destination for any reason, this would be a huge issue. Everything in the world would change in an instant if we took light bulbs away.

            Life for us wouldn’t be the same, phones wouldn’t of have been created, iPods, televisions, computers, anything that contains or needs a light bulb in the making would not exist. This reason is because it is made up of an LED light, small LED lights form the picture or the text of something. There are many things that are made up of using the LED light.

            Another example is if a doctor is doing a surgery, this surgery has the need for a light to have a clear view of the operation taking place. Without the invention of a light bulb this operation would not have a high chance of coming out correct. When many people think of light bulbs and how they affect our life they think of only lighting an area, but it's much more than that it affects our world in many ways.

            The next time you turn on a switch think of how light bulbs affect our world. Think about a cop maybe narrowing down the criminal rate, tools to help out surgeons, contractors, musicians, viewing an x-ray, looking at your cell phone, using your computer, or lighting up your house for Christmas. The whole world would be such a different place without the invention that Thomas Alva Edison created in 1879.
