Томас Алва Эдисон (американский изобретатель)

Томас родился в Огайо в 1847 году. Его семья не была богатой, и воспитание мальчика было ограничено до трех месяцев в государственной школе. Когда ему исполнилось 12 лет, он начал работать.Спустя несколько лет Эдисон изучил телеграфию и стал телеграфистом.Он хотел усовершенствовать телеграф и очень много работал на этим. После нескольких месяцев работы он построил передатчик нового типа. Это было его первое важное изобретение. Двумя другими величайшими изобретениями Эдисона были патефон и электрический светильник. Эдисон считал, что только работа приносит успех.
