If it weren't for electricity, we'd all be watching television by candlelight.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Do you realize if it weren't for Edison we'd be watching TV by candlelight?
We owe a lot to Thomas Edison - if it wasn't for him, we'd be watching television by candlelight.
We forget just how painfully dim the world was before electricity. A candle, a good candle, provides barely a hundredth of the illumination of a single 100 watt light bulb.
When Thomas Edison worked late into the night on the electric light, he had to do it by gas lamp or candle. I'm sure it made the work seem that much more urgent.
I had my electricity turned off three times because I never had time to pay my bills. It was a joke. I'm making a ton of money, and I'm walking around my apartment with flashlights.
A lot of making TV is lightening in a bottle.
There's not a lot of light on television.
I love having candles, especially when you get downtime. I could just pass out seeing the flame flicker with the lights off.
I lived by the candlelight for two years because I couldn't afford power. It was nice and romantic at the time, but if you can't afford power you're pretty broke. You endure it.
Electricity is really just organized lightning.
