Would it be to invent wireless electricity in the form the somehow electrons are floating about every where but only become charged when comer into contact with a special modulator on the chosen device.
This would be great and mean no more wires

The only wireless electricity with any degree of real power is a lightning bolt, or a high voltage discharge (arc). It is not something you want to experiment with at home.

Yes It Would be great if the Energy required to run our world required only to ground one side of our circuit and allow these airborne electrons to run our Schools and Factories, autos and trucks,stereos and televisions. However the only devise that I know of that does work this way is a Crystal radio! The power that allows it to work is being pumped out at a very high rate of energy used by the Radio station but created by a power plant. If there were no large sources of electrons there would only be clicks and pops to listen to. These being caused by lightning or Aurora! Good luck in your search for a way to use Electrons in the air to power our world. Keep trying and you might keep our world from becoming a very large microwave!!!!!lol

Read about Nikola Tesla and his Wardenclyffe tower project.
After *inventing the polyphase AC power distribution*, generators and motors circa 1880, Tesla focused on the idea that by using some variant of his "Tesla coils" he could broadcast power at RF frequencies. A former employee, and later, bitter rival of, Thomas Edison, Tesla was aquainted with luminaries as diverse as Albert Einstein and Mark Twain. A truely fascinating inventor whose notebooks were seized and classified (to this day?) by the US government upon his death in 1943.
If you could point to one physicist or engineer who brought promethean energy to the masses, it would be him. A true hero to humanity and very vastly underrated. Anytime you use an AC appliance or *anything* related to the power grid, it is virtually all the work of that brilliant mind. Edison was a dim-wit sideshow act by comparison, only a much, much better salesman (hence the survival of GE and demise of Westinghouse).
In case you didn't notice, I worship that guy...LOL
