Edison did not invent the lightbulb.

@CosmicDamian

Are you kidding me? When you get down to brass tacks, nobody ever really invented anything. He still deserves our respect.

Let's see you revolutionize all of human civilization, even with a stolen invention.

[CosmicDamian]

@TuxedoRonny No, I'm not kidding you, he didn't invent the lightbulb. (I know that's not what you meant, :)) All I'm saying is I was shocked to find out that a lot of what we were taught in school about him isn't actually true. When I find out how much of what is attributed to him in the popular mind was actually others' doing, (especially Tesla), I feel compelled, by a sense of fairness, to get the word out.

@CosmicDamian Youre right he didnt invent the lightbulb. He used to be a patents agent. One day some unknown individuals came in with an idea they wanted patented.. "light bulb". there was some major flaws to it, so edison bought the patent of them, and tweaked it a bit.

@CosmicDamian Tesla didn't invent the induction coil.

ENTRABA SIEMPRE A LA BOLSA DE VALORES PARA ESTAR CALIENTITO Y UN DIA SE MALOGRO LA MAQUINA DONDE APARECIA LAS CUENTA DE LA BOLSA Y LA GENTE SE DESESPERO A TAL PUNTO QUE EL MECANICO NO SUPO QUE HACER .....

[nettolitaliano]

@nettolitaliano HASTA QUE APARECIO TOMAS Y LE DIJO AL MANAGER QUE PODIA ARREGLARLO Y LO HIZO EN MENOS DE UNA HORA TODO ESTUVO SOLUCIONADO Y RECIBIO DE REGALO UN CUBIERTO DE 5 DOLARES PARA COMER EN ESA EPOCA ERA DEMASIADO ESE DINERO,PERFECCIONO ESTA MAQUINA E HIZO OTRAS PARA QUE LOS INVERSIONISTAS TUVIERAN LA INFORMACION EN SUS PROPIAS CASAS CON ESTO GANO SUS PRIMEROS 40000 DOLARES CON LOS CUALES FUNDO ORANGE GENERAL ELECTRIC MOTORS EL BOMBILLO ELECTRICO Y UN SIN FIN DE COSAS COMO LLANTAS

The Edison company invented the first movie camera!! Very great job Thomas Edison !! And the Edison Phonograph was the forerunner of the Turntable !!

[Starfighterking]

Edison is cool! :-) Great Man.

[GGFSquallStrife]

@overlycreative: "bla bla ignorant world are so brainwashed bla bla" Your mother should have told you that arrogance is no better than ignorance.

Edison and Tesla were both intelligent men who excelled in their fields, and provided the world with many modern conveniences.

''talking picture'' lmao

[yusingsong]

Thomas Alfa Edison is great inventors ever

[Soulthinker2007]

Yes,that was Harvey Firestone.

[ksteiger]

Evryone loves to bag on Edison. If Tesla was so smart why didn't he overcome the problems with this "thief"?

[CosmicDamian]

@ksteiger The problems with Edison are being overcome now. Sorry it took so long.

[VIDEOAVENTURAS]

Edison only a stupid and a thief man !!!

NIKOLA TESLA THE GREATEST GENIUS OF ALL TIME

[overlycreative]

I would not have said it so vocally, seeing as how the rest of the ignorant world are so brainwashed about untrue history. Bravo Mr. Tesla. Bravo for your quiet demeanor and suffering genius.

[Paal1994]

[audioception]
