, 1847. His family moved to Port Huron,

Michigan when he was 7 years old. Surprisingly, he attended school for only 2 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 Alva Edison lit up the world with his invention of the electric light. Although the electric light

seems to be 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 2 weeks he created something new. He worked 16

out of every 24 hours. Sometimes he worked so intense that his wife had to9 remind him to sleep and eat.

Thomas Edison died at the age of 84 on October 18

^th

, 1931 at his estate in West Orange, New Jersey. He left

numerous inventions that improved the quality of life all over the world.
