When the name Thomas Edison comes up, most people automatically associate it with the invention of the light buld. However, he did a lot more than that. His improvements to the telegraph and telephone were revolutionary. He invented the phonograph.He was also responsible for the first moving picture machine, the storage battery, the mimeograph, and literally a thousand other inventions. His last patent was issued when he was eighty one years old. Not bad for a man who had less than three MONTHS of formal education, is it? Think what he could have done if he had been able to use the things we take for granted today, say, a common notebook computer.

Edison’s remains have been moved and re-buried on the grounds of the Edison National Historic Site in West Orange, New Jersey.
