Thomas Alva Edison
Thomas
Alva Edison was born on February 11, 1847, the USA. He was the seventh and last
child of Samuel and Nancy Edison. When he was young, he went to school only for
a few months. His teachers disliked him because the boy always asked a lot of
questions. So he was taught reading, writing, and arithmetic by his mother. But
Thomas was always a very curious child and taught himself much by reading
scientific and technical books.
Thomas Edison began working at an early age. At 12 he sold fruit, snacks and
newspapers on a train. Later he became a telegraph operator. But he was fired
from his job because he became bored and started playing jokes on his boss. So
Edison decided to change his profession and he became one of the most talented
inventors the world knows.
Edison’s first invention was not successful, but he didn’t give up. He moved to
New York and made many telegraphic improvements. This brought him money. During
this time he married Mary Stilwell and they had three children. They soon left New York and went to New Jersey where Edison
built his most famous laboratory “Menlo Park”. He
hired eighty workers who were chemists and mathematicians, to help him with
inventions at his “invention factory”. The first great invention was the
phonograph. It was the
first machine that could record someone’s voice. Edison recited the poem “Mary
Had a Little Lamb”, and the phonograph played the words to him. The phonograph
was a sensation and brought Edison international fame. Edison’s next invention
changed the world and technology forever. It was the light bulb (лампочка).Soon
many electricity at home. It was just a miracle! Everyone thought that Thomas
was a wizard and called him “Wizard of Menlo Park”. Afterwards Edison also
worked on X-rays, batteries, and the first talking doll. Another of his
greatest ideas was “movies” and the first camera. Edison first demonstrated
movies in 1891. The whole world again called him a genius. But he knew that having
a good idea was not enough. Edison liked to say that without hard work you could
not create anything.
