Thomas Edison with some sides


Thomas Edison, the inventor of bulb, didn’t only endow us with the electric light , but also he is the inventor of over one thousand other things such as motion picture camera and phonograph (an old record player)
He attended school for only two months. His mother who was teacher, taught some things but he received most of his education by himself. His inborn curiosity led him to do experiments.
His first laboratory was on a train which he worked on. He could experiments here in his spare time but later he was dismissed from his job on the train for causing a fire in his laboratory.
One of his ears was completely deaf and it is said that he invented the bulb because he was afraid of darknes.
He worked for at least sixteen hours a day. Sometimes he even forgot to eat and sleep. About every two weeks he would invent something new..
