Compare/Contrast

If Tesla had been born in an earlier time period he would be viewed as nothing less than a god. Because he was a man who could harness electricity itself, but he was cheated out of his own inventions and ideas. If tesla was born in a time period such as, "post Cold War", I believe that his vision would be much more welcomed. Because compared to the other people of his own time period, his views and ideas were well ahead of those during his time period. If I were to have the same skills and mind as Tesla did during my time period, I would press for his idea of free electricity for all because he discover how to make it, and harness it, but he was cheated out by banks and rivals.

"Electric power is everywhere present in unlimited quantities and can drive the world's machinery without the need of coal, oil, gas or any other common fuel"
