I sometimes get confused when to use "electric" and "electronic". What's the biggest difference?

Good question! If something is "electric," it is powered by electricity. If something is "electronic," it could mean that it functions with a computer or describes devices that have a system with electric currents, such as microchips. Ex: My electric scooter is so helpful to get to work. Ex: How many electronic devices do you have? Ex: My electronic TV remote is battery-powered. It's not electric.
