- inventing the glass armonica (a musical instrument)
- serving in the Continental Congress and the Constitutional Convention
- serving as America's first postmaster
- inventing the Franklin Stove
- inventing the lightning rod and not getting a patent, so as to make them affordable
- proving lightning electricity which can be harnessed via his kite and key experiment (a risk to his life)
- coining electrical terms such as battery, charge, and discharge
- starting a lending library and fire station
- founding the first nonreligious college, the University of Pennsylvania
- publishing Poor Richard's Almanac and the Pennsylvania Gazette
- serving as the first American ambassador to France and persuading the French to join with the Americans against the British in the Revolutionary War

Basically, he helped us win the Revolution and establish a government afterward, improved and/or saved the lives of many people, and laid the electrical groundwork out for most all scientific advancements to date.
