Answer:
Thomas Alva Edison, one of the developers of the modern light bulb, is also one of the most famous as well as prolific inventors in history.
He patented over 1000 inventions in his lifetime. Edison was born in Ohio in 1847. As a child, he received less than a year of classroom training.
He was homeschooled.
His parents allowed him to set up a laboratory in their basement and his mother gave him books about chemistry and electronics.
Edison credits his mother as being ‘the making’ of him.
When he was 12, Edison got a job selling newspapers on a train that made day trips between his hometown of Port Huron, Michigan and Detroit. He took his laboratory along in the baggage car so that he would be able to experiment during layovers.
This worked until one day some of his chemicals spilled and started a fire! Also while working on the train, Edison saved the child of one of the station masters, and as a reward was taught how to use a telegraph machine.
