Things that we don't think of as being electronic, like cars and airplanes, depend on its use to run. The motors that run our manufacturing plants depend on electricity. Much of our entertainment comes from electronic devices. Information is more readily shared. We work and travel safely at night because we can see in the dark. Our bodies, including our brains, operate on spurts of electrical energy.
Contrary to the many illustrations we have been shown, electrons are not little round balls in orbit around a nucleus. A nucleus attracts an amount of energy that surrounds it in the form of an energy vapor or cloud. The amount of energy that a nucleus attracts is measured in electrons like inches or millimeters. Like everything else in nature, energy strives to reach a balance and make its self equal where ever it exists. If we put five volts on one end of a wire, the entire wire becomes equal very quickly. If one object contains a lot more energy than another, we will see or feel the energy from the high-energy object transferring to the low-energy object in the form of sparks. Energy exists all around us and we have learned how to capture it, release it, and manipulate it through the use of magnetism, friction, and heat. We don't change energy. We use it as it is. This use of energy is called electronics. Electronics has allowed us to create power generating facilities, which have, in turn, allowed us to create things like computers, television sets, radios, radar sites, magnetic and optical disks, cars, water heaters, power tools, tractors, power mowers, light bulbs, telephones, satellites, guided missiles, cameras, video recorders, tanks, electric typewriters, and most other things we use including our industrial capability. While things like pencils, hammers, and golf clubs may not be considered electronic, the use of them certainly involves electronics. Everything in our universe is constructed using the same energy that we have learned how to use in the form of electricity. If we could see ourselves and everything else as it really is, all we would see would be globs of energy with spurts of energy going in and out of the globs. You might even say that electronics was used to create the universe.
