Ever wondered what Benjamin Franklin would be like born in the age of smartphones and flying drones? Get ready for "The New Spark: Benjamin Franklin, 2025"! This fun, fictional biography imagines young Ben, not with kites and lightning, but with pixels and programs. Follow his hilarious and insightful journey from screen-obsessed toddler to tech-tinkering kindergartener, culminating in his groundbreaking invention: the 'Ben-Blocker,' an intelligent ad-blocker that cleans up the internet for everyone! Written and narrated by Charles Crawley, is a delightful fictional biography that asks: what if? Forget the 18th century – this Ben Franklin is captivated by screens, dismantles robot vacuums for fun, and develops a burning dislike for online ads.
