Electricity so far

Electricity is the flow of electric charge, that is used to power and create light/objects.
So far Ive learned that Electricity can also be very dangerous. Today in class we saw how if you over power electricity eventually a fire or dangerous problem can happen.
Electricity is important because without electricity we'd be cavemen.
Im still confused about understanding about volts/watts in electricity and circuits.
Im getting better at understanding the flow of energy and what it do/ how it is created.
I have a question about how electricity is stored in a laptop? is it powered through a charger? or like mobile phones ? because i know calculators are solar power, what about laptops/carried devices?
a bit random but..

Electricity is a form of energy that results from charged particles like the protons and electrons. Static electricity can be repelled when the conductor is used as in insulator.

Today in class, we discussed the way static energy works. Also, today we played with the Generator. The Generator sent  some electrons, leaving the roller with a negative charge and creating the spark. This allowed us to see sparks hit the generator and the smaller sphere. 
try to use a coke can? haha not sure 

Insulators & Conductors

Today, I came across metal, as an conductor. I came across now many Door Knobs today, and i know that is an insulator because it has a high resistance  of charge. I came across a Insulator today, also by touching a wood pencil, my wood bed frame, and of course air. These don't let electrons enter in them and thats usually as it feels like.
