Industrialization: Thomas Edison: Chris Reyes


Thomas Alva Edison
                Curious about the world from an early age, he learned all he could about the mechanical workings of object. His laboratory at Menlo Park, New Jersey, was the forerunner of the modern research laboratory. He expanded on the light bulb idea by creating a vacuum inside the bulb and sending a lower of electricity into it. At the time, they had no idea what this was and they thought he had mental problems. By the time he died, Edison held more than one thousand patents.
