remembered for his contributions to the light bulb.His mother knew that
her son was fond of chemistry and electronics(电子学), so she gave him
books to read on how to perform chemistry experiments at home at the

in 1859 and spent most of his time experimenting.Before he died in
1931, Edison patented(获得专利权) 1 093 of his inventions, including
the microphone, telephone receiver and electric pen.
