Much like C.
- Towaway69 2y agoWe won’t replace electricity but we’ll build on top of it. Electricity is fundamentally the same since ever: copper wires transport it and it flows between two poles. That’s a bit what C is - the basis of other languages and for that it works fine. We abstract up the chain of complexity. There will always be a fundamental basis for all technology and it will never be perfect. Tesla would have preferred to use DC currents, instead we have AC which is more dangerous.
- bmicraft 2y ago> instead we have AC which is more dangerous That's false. If you assume the same (effective) voltage, ac is considerably less dangerous.
- philistine 2y agoDC was preferred by Edison, not Tesla, which is not more dangerous at all. That was propaganda by Edison to disparage *EDIT:AC current. DC is just as dangerous as AC.
- Towaway69 2y agoThanks for the correction. > That was propaganda by Edison to disparage DC But if he prefered it, why would he create progaganda against it? > DC is just as dangerous as AC. I assumed the alternating made it more dangerous but I stand corrected.
- philistine 2y agoI messed it up too. Edison wanted to disparage AC.
