Thomas+Edison

Thomas Edison is a inventor, he always said “ Genius was 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration". He invented a lot and helped human in the world.
When he was young As a child  Thomas Edison was born on February11, 1847 in American. He developed hearing problems when he was young. Also, the young Edison's mind was wandered at school. So some people called him "addled". He went to school to study only for three months. His mother, who is a former teacher, taught him a few things, but Thomas was mostly self-educated. So his mother taught him at home by herself.

When he was 12 years old, he got his first job. Then he became a newsboy on a train that ran between Port Huron and Detroit. A laboratory was built in a baggage care of the train so that he could continue his experiments in his spare time. Unfortunately, he did not do his first work experience end well. Thomas was fired when he accidentally set fire to the floor of the baggage car.

Teenager When he was teenager, he did a lot of experiment. Later he went to his first authentic to invent. His family had not much money, they were poor so that his mother was stressed. Another unlucky thing is that his father quit his job, and sold his homestead. That is bad new for me, and I was sad after I read his history. 

When Thomas Edison was 21 years old, he was successful to become Bell's friend, he helped him and they worked together. They finished to invent the first reciprocating telephone and the magneto phone, then they continued to work.

Edison's wife

Mary Stilwell, who was 16 years old, was married with Edison, he had met two months earlier as she was an employee at one of his shops on December25, 1871. And they had three children.

 Electric lighting

Electric lighting was the best invention in his whole inventions Thomas Edison invented. He worked very hard, he not only invented the successful electric light bulb, but also he set up the first electrical power distribution company. He did lots of experiments with platinum and other metal filaments, and he used carbon filament again. Edison used 40 hours to finish the first successful invention. Also, he applied to use a carbon filament or strip coiled and connected to contact wires. So, he used a lot of time to do it, and it was granted after several months. Then both Thomas Edison and his group use 1200 hours to discover the light bulb, so it is a hard work to do and they did not give up even if they felt tired. Also, he invented the phonograph, and made improvements to the telegraph, telephone and motion picture technology. He also founded the first modern research laboratory. Edison's major innovation was the first industrial research lab, which was built in M enlo Park, New Jersey.

Connect with Ayn Rand: Edison had built his first high resistance, incandescent electric light. It worked by passing electricity through a thin platinum filament in the glass vacuum bulb, which delayed the filament from melting. Still, the lamp only burned for a few short hours. He used a thin platinum filament to do, but it took a short time, so he tried again and again and did thousands and thousands of other materials to use for the filament. Therefore, it effected the world a lot of time, like the internet, nowadays,it is the most important topic in our society and it belongs socialism. In Ayn Rand, Equality used frog to do the experiment and they found the answer. Then they put a piece of copper and a piece of zinc into a jar of brine, they touched a wire to them, under their fingers, was a miracle which had never occurred before, a new miracle and a new power. So they found that it causes lightning. So both they invented light bulbs. Also, Equality(Gorden One called him "Prometheus") worked hard too because that is unmentionable time, they need be careful to go there to do at night when they had free time. Edison made the first public demonstration of his incandescent light bulb on December 31, 1879, in Melon Park.
 * Thomas Edison worked on at least three thousand different theories to develop an efficient incandescent lamp.
 * It was during this time that he said: "We will make electricity so cheap that only the rich will burn candles."(From []) from it that we could see at that time, the candles were used in the society, and people had not light before Edison invented. Also, in the Ayn Rand, their community used candles, too. So their background was same in this way.
 * They invented light bulb because they had same purpose that is they wanted to help human, they believed that it offered everyone the opportunity for fame and fortune while benefiting society. Two societies have limited technology at that time before they invented.
 * Edison's inventions help people a lot because he brings bright to them. People believe his inventions which Edison invented by himself are good, at the same time, inventions were accepted and used by people from all over the world. But in the Ayn Rand, the council disagree their invention and they were criticized. The society did not support them because that was not their group invented so that they were pledged to prison.
