Thomas Edison:

Thomas Alva Edison born on February 11, 1847 and dies on October 18, 1931 at the age of 84. He was an American inventor, scientist, and businessman who developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and the electric light bulb.

Edison became a telegraph operator after saving a 13 years old boy from the rails. The father of this young boy trained Edison as a telegraph operator. He was married at the age of 24 with Mary Stilwell , a 16-year-old girl, whom he had met txo months earlier. He began his career as an inventor in Newark, New Jersey, with the automatic repeater and his other improved telegraphic devices, but his first important invention was the phonograph in 1877. Edison was active in business right up to the end. Just months before his death in 1931, the Lackawanna Railroad implemented electric trains in suburban service from Hoboken to Gladstone, Montclair and Dover in New Jersey. Finally Thomas Edison died of complications of diabetes on October 18, 1931, in his home.

We have choosed Thomas Edison, because we think that he’s an interesting person because he had patented a lot of invents like the bulb, invents that nowadays are simple but thanks to the invents of those people we are so technologically advanced. Also we have chosen Edison because he has around 1500 patents, that are a lot of patents, that means he had passed a lot of time estuding and innoving.
