                             Thomas Alva  Edison

    Most people know that Thomas Edison invented first working light  bulb,
but they don’t know anything else about him. Edison  had  almost  no  formal
schooling, yet he  invented  over  1000  different  things.  Among  Edison’s
inventions are: the phonograph (record player), the  movie  camera  and  the
movie projector.
    Thomas Edison invented his electric light bulb in 1879, but  there  was
still much work to do. No  one  knew  how  to  use  electricity  outside  of
laboratory before Thomas Edison. He and his workers had  to  create  a  safe
electric system. First they had to build a factory. Then they had  to  build
the dynamos to  make  the  electricity.  Next  they  had  to  send  out  the
electricity.
    To show people that he was serious, Edison began  his  project  in  New
York City. By 1887, much of New York City had  electricity.  Edison  founded
the Edison Electric Light Company and continued  to  supply  electricity  to
New York and other places.
    Thomas Edison lived until 1931. He continued to invent  all  his  life.
After the War, he tried to invent a substitute for  rubber  because  of  the
shortage that the war caused.
    Thomas Edison was a true genius, but he never  went  to  a  college  or
university. The only time Edison attended school was when  he  was  7  years
old. He stayed for 3 months and never returned. Thomas Edison was  a  school
dropout, yet he became one of America’s most famous and most honoured man.
