I was raised in NJ, Edison's home state.* We were pumped with
  "Edison is Awesome" stuff as well as "Tesla is Awesome" stuff.*
  If you think about it, had the world gone to DC instead of AC,
  there'd be no need for transformers.* The only reason we need
  transformers is because almost almost EVERYTHING ACTUALLY RUNS
  on DC instead of AC. Anyway, I just wanted to set the record
  straight regarding Tesla.* I don't buy the Edison=Evil
  propaganda because he gave a lot of inventors jobs and money and
  had the marketing machine to get lots of ideas out there that
  would've been lost in people's home garages instead. I feel bad
  that Tesla didn't get his wireless electricity though.* That was
  his big dream. Plus, no DC, no batteries.* No batteries, no
  wireless anything.* We need both.
