Thomas Edison was born on February 11, 1847 in Milan, Ohio. When he was at school, his teacher considered him to be a slow student. Because of hearing problems, Edison had difficulty in following the lessons. But with only three months of formal education he became one of the greatest inventors and industrial leaders in history.

Edison’s most famous invention was the electric light bulb. He also invented the phonograph, and made improvements to the telegraph, telephone and motion picture technology.

Edison had a special life. He married twice with five children. He loved books, had excellent memory, and always showed curiosity about science.

He used to say, “ Genius was 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.” When he died on October 18, 1931, he was still working on new ideas.
