The electrification of cities soon followed. Alternating current and the transformer
allowed electric energy to be transported over large distances, and electrical engineer-
ing as a profession was born. The first professional society for electrical engineers
was founded in 1884.
The discovery of the laws of electricity and magnetism in the 1800s also gave
birth to two new information industries, the telegraph and telephone industries. How-
ever, the electric power industry remained a dominant force in the first half of the 20
th
century.
Two new non-electrical information industries were also created in the 1800s
through advances in the chemical sciences. The photographic film process was per-
fected and the photographic industry was born soon to be followed by the motion pic-
ture industry.
