Thomas Edison - Wikipedia
Thomas Alva Edison, February 11,
1847 – October 18, 1931, an American inventor and businessman, who has been
described as America's greatest inventor. He developed many devices that greatly
influenced life around the world, including the
phonograph, the
motion picture camera,
and the long-lasting, practical electric
light bulb. Dubbed "The
Wizard of Menlo Park", he was one of the first inventors to apply the principles
of
mass production and
large-scale teamwork to the process of invention, and because of that, he is
often credited with the creation of the first industrial
research laboratory.
