Today I am Grateful for:

Conveniences I use every day, but take for granted:
  • Electricity (in 1831 Michael Faraday discovered the first method of generating electricity by means of motion in a magnetic field).
  • My Honda Accord (large-scale, production-line manufacturing of affordable automobiles debuted in 1902).
  • Air Conditioning (the first modern electrical air conditioning was invented in 1902).
  • My cell phone (fully automatic cellular networks were first introduced in the early to mid-1980s).
  • My high-speed internet connection (on April 30, 1993, CERN announced that the World Wide Web would be free to anyone).
