How did people react to electricity?

People were amazed to see this miraculous form of light in which there was no gas, no flame, no oil, just a visible stream of energy. At first they didn’t understand how it worked because you can’t see the electricity. So, it was viewed as something magical by most of the people.

How were they supposed to react to it. Electricity wasn't discovered because it always existed. We always have known about the existence of electricity since the stone age with electric eels and comes it comes from the freaking sky. This question is like asking how did people react to rain. See? It doesn't make sense because it always happened before anyone started utilizing it.

the committees of correspondence were the american colonies’ means for maintaining communication lines in the years before the revolutionary war. in 1764, boston formed the earliest committee of correspondence to encourage opposition to britain’s stiffening of customs enforcement and prohibition of american paper money. the following year, new york formed a similar committee to keep the other colonies notified of its actions in resisting the stamp act. in 1773, the virginia house of burgesses proposed that each colonial legislature appoint a committee for intercolonial correspondence. the exchanges that followed built solidarity during the turbulent times and bring about the formation of the first continental congress in 1774.
