Thomas Alva Edison (February 11,1847 – October 18,1931) was an American inventor and businessman who developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world,including the phonograph and a long lasting light bulb.Dubbed "The Wizard of Menlo Park" by a newspaper reporter,he was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production to the process of invention,and therefore is often credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory.
Edison is considered one of the most prolific inventors in history,holding 1,093 U.S.patents in his name,as well as many patents in the United Kingdom,France and Germany.
Although in his early years Edison worked alone,he built up a research and development team to a considerable number while at his Menlo Park research laboratory.His staff were generally told to carry out his directions in conducting research and he drove them hard to produce results.The large research group,which included engineers and other workers,based much of their research on work done by others before them.
Many other inventors had worked on the development of an incandescent light bulb and some had even patented them before Edison,although none before Swan's was shown to be usable in practice or gained acceptance.Edison's own inventions are often mistakenly credited as Edison's work alone,when in fact a number of employees actually worked under his direction.Many people refer to Edison's work as the first incandescent light bulb with high resistance,a small radiating area,and a commercially and uninhibitally but still useful lifetime.In other words his application for patent was the first design suitable for use by energy companies with central generating stations.
Edison's true success,like that of his friend Henry Ford,was in his ability to maximize profits through establishment of mass-production systems and intellectual property rights.This dampened the success of less profitable work by others who were focused on inventing longer-lasting high-efficiency technology.
