Description

Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) was an
American inventor, scientist and businessman who developed many devices that
greatly influenced life around the world, including the phonograph, the motion
picture camera, and a long-lasting, practical electric light bulb. Dubbed "The
Wizard of Menlo Park" (now Edison, New Jersey) by a newspaper reporter, he was
one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production and large
teamwork to the process of invention, and therefore is often credited with the
creation of the first industrial research laboratory.

Edison is considered one of the most prolific inventors in history, holding
1,093 U.S. patents in his name, as well as many patents in the United Kingdom,
France and Germany. He is credited with numerous inventions that contributed to
mass communication and, in particular, telecommunications. His advanced work in
these fields was an outgrowth of his early career as a telegraph operator.
Edison originated the concept and implementation of electric-power generation
and distribution to homes, businesses, and factories – a crucial development in
the modern industrialized world. His first power station was on Manhattan
Island, New York.
