Thomas Edison Talking About Electricity in 1908 in both Audio and text versions.

And we veterans can only urge upon our successors, the younger followers of Franklin and of Kelvin, to realize the nature of their opportunities, and to rise to the heights of their responsibilities in this day of electricity.
