Many people believe that light bulbs were invented by Thomas
Edison. Is that true?
Edison was born in 1847 in Milan, Ohio, USA. In
school, Edison was often absent-minded, and his teacher did not
think that he was very smart. In 1854 his family moved to Port
Huron, Michigan, where young Edison sold candy and
newspapers on trains from Port Huron to Detroit. These early sales
experiences led Edison to discover his talents as a businessman and
eventually (最后) to found fourteen companies, including
General Electric, which still exists today.
Edison started his career as an inventor in Newark, New
Jersey. In 1878 Edison formed the Edison Electric Light
Company. During his first public demonstration (展示) of his
incandescent light (白炽灯) bulb on December 31, 1879, he
said, “We will make electricity so cheap that only the rich will
burn candles.” Light bulbs were not the only things Edison
worked on. He also built the first industrial research laboratory in
Menlo Park, New Jersey. There, Edison and his assistant,
William J. Hammer, worked on the telephone, phonograph
(留声机), electric railway, and electric lighting.
However, Edison did not invent many of the things he is said
to have invented; he only improved them so that they could be
sold to the public. He did not invent the electric light bulb either.
He did, however, start the first company that made and sold
electric light bulbs. The only major invention that he actually did
invent was the phonograph. It was his invention of the phonograph
in 1877 that made him famous, and he became known as “The
Wizard of Menlo Park(门洛帕克的奇才)” , New Jersey.

have invented, but he did improve many of the inventions we
use today.

bulb.
