But i had a thought, and excuse me for not having any college knowledge but why isnt there not a way of wireless electricity? instead of anything(s) having to circulate or circumnavigate through wires? how come no one has thought to just do something more simple? as in a wireless system? same concept that we use wireless internet? juuuuus curious....

Yes. You do not understand electricity.
Electrical power is measured in watts. Your refrigerator uses a certain amount of watts every hour. Your electric water heater uses a certain amount of watts every hour. The appliances take power out of the electrical current which flows through them and the meter measures that.

Feel free to not trust the meter if you wish.
