Thomas Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, in 1847. His family moved to Port Huron,

Michigan, when he was seven years old. Surprisingly, he attended school for only two months.

His mother, a former teacher, taught him a few things, but Thomas was mostly self-educated.

His natural curiosity led him to start experimenting at a young age.

Thomas Edison lit up the world with his invention of the electric light. Although the

electric light was the most useful, it was not his only invention. He also invented the record

player, the motion picture camera, and over 1,200 other things. About every two weeks he

created something new. He worked 16 out of every 24 hours. Sometimes he worked so intensely

that his wife had to remind him to sleep and eat.

Thomas Edison died in 1931, in West Orange, New Jersey. He left numerous inventions

that improved the quality of life all over the world.
