Benjamin Franklin was one of America's founding fathers as well as a scientist, statesman, author, printer, activist, postmaster, and diplomat. He is renowned for his discoveries and theories on electricity and is credited with inventing swimming fins, bifocals, the lightning rod, a flexible catheter, and many other inventions we use today. Franklin was born in 1706, and was a middle child. His parents, who were soap and candle makers, could not afford to send him to school longer than two years so, by the age of 10, young Benjamin began working alongside his father. By the age of 12, he had became his brother James's apprentice at a printing shop. Franklin did not let his lack of access to a formal education prevent him from becoming one of America's most influential and famous figures

When we were tasked to do a presentation on a scientist/physicist in school I immediately thought of Ben Franklin and because I was already starting to learn about american History I was eager to learn more about his life as we were to present the Biography and things the person invented and found out so I made a little paper Kite and band a key to it as a practical display and explained how his famous lightning experiment worked.

You talk about all the characters today and recent past they got nothing on Benjamin Franklin. He was smarter, more intelligent,
more industrious, a better thinker, and all the shit that people think they are today. Read your history kids he was
an A-game dude in every sense of the word. It's just sad that most people don't understand that.

Definitely someone I would love to meet. And he was noted, or is that notorious, for his sense of humour. I am sure we would have gotten on like a house on fire. You know. People running around screaming and no survivors.

I think if most of us weren't just trying to keep our heads afloat, we could invent some stuff too. I wonder how many great minds died in enslavement or sweatshops. Not discrediting him. Just food for thought

Highschool: Ben was the face on the $100 bill, a founding father, and was one of the first to work with electricity.
This video: Ben loved sitting by windows in the nude and writing about fart perfumes.

Hmm, I really don't know who our modern Benjamin Franklin would be. An obvious guess would be Elon Musk, or Steve Jobs? But idk, I feel like there may be people more qualified for the title?

I've always loved Ben Franklin since learning about him in elementary school. He seems like a really cool eccentric dude who was laid back and wasn't afraid to live life to the fullest.

Glass harmonicas were replaced by keyboards that could make a similar sound. They're still popular on digital keyboards. I love the sound.

Clearly Ben was a wizard. All that electricity huh, sure I see wizard skills. He looks like a magical folk they are awkward.

At the end, you ask who a modern day Benjamin Franklin could be, but I don't think there is one, he was and is unparalleled.
