Thomas Edison

Thomas Edison’s goal was to make a working Light bulb. He did this because he wanted a better light source so that he and so many could benefit from it. He was inspired to make a better light source, because he was scared when his mother was operated on in the light from a gas light. He wanted to help people like me and you, and he did. The light bulb is now a part of everyday life. His main goal was to get through his life with-out going broke.

The light bulb is a great invention because it gives off Additional light then a gas lamp and it is safer then a gas lamp. Gas lighting would cost a lot more now in this day in time then back than. The price for gas would most likely be $4.09 at every gas station if the light bulb was never invented. Gas lights are more of a fire hazard then the light bulb that Thomas Edison invented in the 19th century. I think I think that the light bulb was a great idea because it was away for fire fighters to see during a reuse attempt. It can help the police to see the street.

I think if the light bulb was never invented then life would be so much different then it is now, because the light bulb is used for the headlights of cars. Thomas Edison created the light bulb and he got to see how the world changed since he created the light bulb. Doctors use lights in the operating room now they can save a lot more patients instead of having to stop and get more fuel for the lights. Lights are getting better and better each one that comes out. There is a lot of different lights, including one that lasts for seven years. The newest type of light is called a LED or Light-emitting diode light it is really bright. That does not have a light bulb in it; it is really advanced and really cool.

Some of the obstacles that Edison faced were that the light would light up but would burn out every couple of minutes. Then he almost ran out of money when he invented the phonograph machine nick named (the talking machine.) The money from that funded the development of the light bulb. Edison found 3000 metals that would not work, but he only needed one that did. He thought that the light would have like the oxygen in the air. Then he thought about a vacuum to put the light into it to make it glow. It lengthened the time from minutes to hours.
