Thomas Edison’s Home Page
One of the greatest inventors of all time has his own web page. What is so unusual about that, you might ask? Nothing, except this inventor passed away over 60 years ago, before the computer was invented and long before the Internet was even thought of. But his presence is still being felt today, even as you look at your monitor.
The man’s name is Thomas Edison, and at his home page a visitor can learn about the contributions that he has made to our lifestyles today. While he didn’t invent the light bulb, he did perfect it and made it work. But the hundreds of patents that he holds cover a wide variety of subjects from telegraphy to motion pictures to audio recordings. His career really started to blossom when he created one of the first electrical utility companies in the country. Here you can learn about that event.
