    Thomas Edison was an American inventor born in 1847 in Ohio who is considered one of the greatest inventors of all time. He held over 1,000 patents and made groundbreaking inventions such as the phonograph and the long-lasting, practical electric light bulb. Though he was not the first to invent the light bulb, he developed the infrastructure necessary to power light bulbs and bring electric light to the masses. Some of the lessons of Edison's career include persevering even when progress seems slow, always striving to improve inventions, and accepting when plans do not work out as intended.
