Biography Text
Thomas Alva Edison
Thomas Alva Edison was an American inventor and businessman. He was born on February
11, 1847. His mother taught him at home. Much of his education came from reading R.G.
Parker's School of Natural Philosophy and The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science
and Art. Edison developed hearing problems at an early age. The cause of his deafness has been
attributed to a bout of scarlet fever during childhood and recurring untreated middle-ear
infections.
Edison developed many skills when he was young,He also studied qualitative analysis and
conducted chemical experiments on the train until an accident prohibited further work of the
kind. Later, Edison obtained the exclusive right to sell newspapers on the road. This began
Edison's long streak of entrepreneurial ventures, as he discovered his talents as a businessman.
These talents eventually led him to found 14 companies, including General Electric, which is still
one of the largest publicly traded companies in the world.
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.
Edison died of complications of diabetes on October 18, 1931, in his home, "Glenmont" in
Llewellyn Park in West Orange, New Jersey, which he had purchased in 1886 as a wedding gift
for Mina, his second wife. He is buried behind the home.
