Benjamin Franklin
Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston, Massachusetts in the USA on 17 January 1706. He had a very big family—his parents had seventeen children. He was a man of many talents and interests. Among other things, he was a scientist and an inventor. He was naturally curious about how things worked and was always searching for ways to make them better.

In 1747, Benjamin began his experiments on electricity with some very simple equipment. Although these experiments led to the discovery of some very important findings on electricity, Benjamin did not actually invent it. However, he did invent the lightning conductor , which protects buildings and ships from damage caused by lightning.
Ask: Did he invent electricity?
Benjamin had poor vision and needed glasses. He was tired of always taking them on and off, so he decided to invent a pair of glasses that would let him see both near and far things at the same time. He took the two different types of glasses, cut each lens in half, and then put half of each lens into another frame. Nowadays, this type of glasses is known as bifocals.

During his life, he travelled across the Atlantic Ocean eight times. These long journeys gave him a lot of time to learn about how ships worked. He developed a way to make them safer and more efficient by inventing watertight bulkheads. Other developments in safety that he made included establishing the first fire company in Philadelphia, USA, and improving the paving and lighting of the city’s streets.
