Essay On the Importance of Electricity
Introduction: We live in an age of
science. It has left no sector unblessed. Apart from radio, it has contributed
everywhere. We cannot but admit its blessings under the sun.
Its history: The greatest scientific
achievement of the nineteenth century is the invention of electricity. The
twentieth century is making use of electricity so extensively that it has
almost changed the face of the earth. Electricity, carrier of light and power,
devourer of time and space, bearer of human speech over land and sea, is the
greatest servant of man, though it itself is unknown. Lenin Perceived Russia’s
Hydro-electrical potentialities. The application of electricity to industry and
agriculture was Lenin’s dream. In Bangladesh, we have staked our whole future on the rapid growth of our hydroelectric project at Kaptai. The modern age is the age
of machinery. The true objective of substituting human labour for mechanical
labour is to find greater leisure for man. Machines must be driven by natural
power.
Importance: We cannot deny its
contribution or blessings in a modern city. Electricity regulates the clock
that rouses us from bed, boils the water that makes our tea; cooks our food on
heat-proof crooking ranges or cookers; works the radio and TV that tell us the
news, rings the bell that announces a visitor, carries our telegraphic message
to distant places; conveys us to our offices in luxurious vehicles and trains;
takes us to our room somewhere in some multistoried building on elevators; refrigerates
the food to keep it completely fresh; enlightens our rooms when the sun goes
down; warms it in winter and cools it in summer, in short, does everything for
our comfort and convenience with the utmost efficiency at all hours.
The use of electricity: Electricity has
become a very good use in our day-to-day life. We cannot enjoy even a second
without electricity. Mills, factories, and big industries are run by electricity.
Heavy loads are carried away or set with the help of electricity. Had there
been no invention of electricity, industrial development would not have been
made possible.
The role of electricity in making the
impossible possible: Electricity has a magical power in making the
impossible possible in the modern world. The work that was not made possible with the
concerted effort of thousands of people can be done only by pressing an electric
switch. Electricity is playing an unprecedented role in making lives beautiful
and rich. There is no alternative to electricity to make the mechanical mills
and factories drive. In a word, electricity has made every difficult work of
human beings easy.
Caution: Electricity causes accidents. An
unguarded and uncared moment causes a serious accident. Men and animals are
seen being electrified. Electricity is a blessing of science. The present world
remains stagnant without it. People should be cautious about it.
Conclusion: The development of the
country can be brought about by generating electricity on a large scale. The various
multipurpose schemes which we are running at such a heavy cost over the years are for the production of large-scale electricity. But most of our electricity was
based on coal; the total output was lamentably low.
