Hi there 1A2,
Some of you pleaded me to post about Thomas Alva Edison.
So,HERE IT IS!!!
Thomas Alva Edison

Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) was
an American inventor and businessman who developed many devices
that greatly influenced life around the world,including the
phonograph and the long-lasting, practical electric light bulb. Dubbed "The
Wizard of Menlo Park" by a newspaper reporter, he was one of the first
inventors to apply the principles of mass production and large teamwork
to the process of invention, and therefore is often credited with the creation
of the first industrial research laboratory.

Edison is considered one of the most prolific inventors in

history, holding 1,093 U.S. patents in his name, as well as many

patents in the United Kingdom, France and Germany. He is credited

with numerous inventions that contributed to mass communication and, in

particular, telecommunications. His advanced work in these fields was an

outgrowth of his early career as a telegraph operator.

Edison originated the concept and implementation of electric-power

generation and distribution to homes, businesses, and factories - a crucial

development in the modern industrialized world. His first power plant was

on Manhattan Island, New York.
