Question

Thomas Edison's brilliant career as an inventor started when he was just a young boy. He had been at school for only three months when his teacher declared that eight- year-old Thomas was "addled" (confused). His mother decided to teach him at home and gave him a science book which described a variety of chemistry experiments. When he had carried out every experiment in the book, he built a science laboratory in the basement, labelling all his bottles "poison". At the age of 12, young Thomas got his first job, serving newspapers, food and drinks on a train, but, whenever he had a moment, he carried on with his experiments in the baggage compart- ment. Unfortunately, during one of these experi- ments, he accidentally set fire to the compart- ment and he lost his job. In 1863 he became a telegraph assistant in Canada. His job was to report to Toronto every hour by telegraph. Thomas thought this was a waste of time so he invented a gadget that sent a signal automatically, even if he was asleep! This was his first real invention but his boss found him asleep on the job and he nearly lost his job again! By the age of twenty-two, Edison had become a full-time inventor. In 1882, only three years after he had invented the light bulb, the first Central Power Station in New York was built to bring electric light to city streets and homes. By 1889 he had formed his company, the “Edison General Electric Company". By 1913 he had combined his “phonograph” and “kinetoscope" to produce the first talking "movie" During his lifetime Edison took out a record number of 1,093 patents, and it is often said that he "invented" the 20th century. At the time of his birth, many scientists had already experimented with electricity, but no one had been able to do anything very useful with it! Al his death, his electrical inventions had changed life not only in America but also in all corners of the world. On the day of his funeral, lights were turned down at 10 pm all over the United States in his honour.​
