Thomas Alva Edison

Thomas Alva Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, in 1847, and grew up in Port Huron,
1 Michigan. He attended school for only three months. His mother taught him reading,
writing, and arithmetic.

Edison‟s greatest inventions included an improved telephone, the phonograph, the

2 motion-picture camera, and electric storage batteries. He is best remembered for
inventing a long-lasting light bulb. People liked Edison because he was a down-to-earth
 man. His favorite saying was, “Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent
perspiration.”

In 1876, Edison started the first industrial research laboratory at Menlo Park, New Jersey.
3 By then, Edison was partially deaf. He worked very hard. He lived in his laboratory and
became rich from his inventions. He got married twice and had six children. But he
worked so much that he spent little time with his family.

In 1862, Edison saved a boy from being run over by a train. The boy‟s father operated a
4
telegraph machine, which sent coded messages over wire. As thanks, the father taught
Edison how to operate the telegraph. Edison then made improvements to the telegraph.
He earned money from his inventions.

5 In the 1870s, many inventors were trying to make a practical light bulb. Edison wanted
people to have electric light in their homes. So he built the first electric power plants. He
tried hundreds of schemes. Finally he found a filament (thin thread) made of carbon. An
electric spark made the filament glow inside a glass tube. Edison‟s incandescent lamp
was a great success. It burned steadily for more than 40 hours.
