My favorite person is tomas alva edison

was the youngest of seven brothers, Thomas Alva Edison was born in Milan - a small
town in the state of Ohio - on February 11, 1847.

Milan was a town marginalized by the railroad at the time of the Industrial Revolution
and, therefore, the Edison family had to emigrate to Port Huron (Michigan) where
the future genius would attend school for the first time.

Precisely, it would be in Port Huron where a determining event took place for the
coming of little Thomas. Three months after attending school the director expelled
him, alleging lack of interest and intellectual awkwardness.

Thanks to the real intellectual awkwardness of the director of the school in Port
Huron, Nancy Elliot, mother of Edison, would take the reins of his education.

Nancy had practiced as a teacher when she was single and managed to instill in him
one of the most important and difficult lessons of her history: to awaken in him an
eagerness of curiosity without limits, that would accompany her until the end of her
days.

When Edison was ten years old, he made a laboratory in the basement of his house
and took his first steps in the field of chemistry and physics.

It was here that the little inventor discovered that his creativity could help him earn
a living.

when you take alva edison he was sixteen years old he leaves his house.

he worked on the train line between Port Huron and Detroit during the Civil War,
founded an amateur newspaper -Weekly Herald-, was a telegrapher

when you take alva edison he had twenty-one years he registered his first patent. It
was an electric vote counter for the United States Congress.
when you took alva edison he was twenty-nine years old he settled on an
uninhabited farm outside of New York, investing the savings he had earned
throughout his life for his reputation for 'fix it all'.

"The factory of inventions", as Thomas Edison named his laboratory, was his
headquarters and from there came artifacts such as the carbon granule microphone
(1876), the incandescent lamp (1879) and the electric meter (1886).

Later, when fame comes, he moves his laboratory to a new jersey where he would
have more than five thousand workers.
In this center, the great inventor gave birth to a new way of producing cement, some
chemical materials, the electromagnetic separation of iron, and the manufacture of
batteries and accumulators for automobiles. However, the great invention of this
stage was the Kinetoscope (1891): a rudimentary film camera that housed a novel
mechanism to reproduce moving images.

On October 18, 1931(when he was 84), in West Orange, he died of arteriosclerosis


that undermined his health little by little, leaving more than 1,000 inventions for the
history of humanity.
