Biographies

Thomas Alva Edison, called "America's biggest developer," was an American inventor and businessperson. In disciplines consisting of electrical power generation, mass communication, sound recording, and movie, he developed many devices.

The phonograph, movie electronic camera, and early variations of the electrical light bulb are amongst the developments that have had a substantial influence on the modern-day developed world. Dealing with a great deal of scientists and staff, he was just one of the first developers to use the ideas of organized science and cooperation to the process of development. He was the first to establish a commercial lab.

Edison was born in the American Midwest and worked as a telegraph operator early in his profession, which motivated numerous of his earlier developments.

In the year 1876, he opened his first lab in Menlo Park, New Jersey, where he worked on numerous of his early developments. In collaboration with capitalists Henry Ford and Harvey S. Firestone, he later built a botanical lab in Fort Myers, Florida, and a lab in West Orange, New Jersey, which housed the world's first movie studio, the Black Maria. He was a respected innovator, with 1,093 U.S. patents and patents in other nations to his name. Edison had 6 kids from 2 marital relationships. In the year 1931, he passed away of diabetes issues.

In this book, you will learn more about his inventions, his personal life, and the society in which he lived.
