This picture had a light bulb as its technology. this was invented by Warren De La Rue. He invented it in the 1800's. He invented this by conducting a current between two high powered batteries.

Light bulbs are important now. They are important because if we didn't have them, we would still be using candles as lights and would also have to keep windows open for additional light. I know that this picture is atleast from the 18-00's because there is a light bulb in it.
