THOMAS EDISON


He was a great inventor. Maybe the greatest inventor of all time. During the lifetime, he invented 1.093

things.

He was born in 1847 in a small city in the state of Ohio in the United States. He wasn’t a good student;

actually he was a bad student. Thomas left school when he was only 8 years old, and he never returned. But

he was also a curious boy. He liked to do experiments over and over. He wanted to do more experiments and

to buy more equipment, but he didn’t have any money. So he got a job on train, selling candy and newspaper.

One day, when Thomas was 15, he saved the child who was on the train tracks. That action changed

his own life. The child’s father a telegraph operator, wanted to reward Thomas. He taught him to be a telegraph

operator and Edison was good. Edison’s most famous and difficult, inventions was the electric lightbulb.

During his lifetime, Thomas Alva Edison registred 1093 patents. Without a doubt he was the greatest

inventor of all time.
