Tesla's vision of making a world that has wireless communication made him conduct experiments with radio waves and build a tower for wireless transmission (Wardenclyffe Tower). Tesla's work on alternative current power (AC) laid the foundation for the modern electrical grid, allowing the transmission of electricity over long distances.
