  • Yah, partly true!!!

    I do agree that Thomas Edison is a businessman but that doesnt mean he did not invented the light bulb. Then if not, they have to rewrite the history ok? Anyway we could learn something from Edison, that is too much money corrupt mind and Edison is no excemption to this rule.

      • just to inform you

        edison was just a bussinessman whose employers invented such things as light bulb, but not him, just a greedy pig who wanted money even for price of stealing ideas from other scientist (nicola tesla for example) and subsequently patenting them. this way he stole patent for alternating current and many more.

        • Edison Didn't Patent Alternating Current

          Your information is not correct. Thomas Edison's patents were based on Direct Current and he fought Tesla, a former employee, in the marketplace because Tesla promoted Alternating Current, which most of his patents were based on. Alternating current eventually won making Tesla somewhat famous.
          In the end though Westinghouse owned all of Tesla's patents not Edison and Tesla died broke but had given us some of the greatest electrical discoveries that we still use today.
          Both Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla were great men and great inventors and should be remembered that way.

        • Edison didnt "invent" the ligh

          It would be more accurate to say that Edison took existing lightbulb technologies (bought from Henry Woodward of Toronto), and modified it such that it used a Higher Resistance Carbon Filament, thus allowing it to last much longer. (And almost wasn't allowed the patent)

          So I wouldnt say he invented it, just improved upon. Sort've like what BASF or 3M does (not that they don't invent things either).

          But I have heard that recently a lot of his "inventions" are being put under the limelight to see if he did infact invent them, or if one of his employees did, or if they were stolen.
