Who's Thomas Edison

I remember using the "Xerox Alto" in 1973 at PARC when I worked there. The mouse was called a GUI - and I do remember how amazing it was being able to email/transmit to each other Alto's connected. When the 80's came around we all chuckled because we had been using this technology for over a decade! I loved how whatever you would have on your screen was exactly how it printed. Those were the days indeed. Xerox at the time had no interest in the business

of Personal Computers.

No, no. NO. They went to work there because of the bean bags.

This seemed like it was disjointed and a mix of two or more documentaries.

Wow, cool mouse.

Well the glasses are off and the nose and moustache remain but now I can see that his eyebrows join above his nose. Perhaps he is wearing a pair of joke eyebrows with the nose and moustache attached.

[LikeItDeep]

Is that guy wearing a pair of those joke glasses with the nose and moustache attached?

[nergvol]

@LikeItDeep I am embarrassed to say...he was trying look like me.

OMG what an ironic moment on 6th minute of a video. He said: It would be like we use a lightbolt or electrecity, and haven't heard of Thomas Edison", and that's exatcly what he did. He didnt know that Nikola Tesla invented electricity and Edison was not even eable to understand his inventions at the time, so he satanised him.

I must say again, how ironic can this get... What is worse then a half educated man?

[Serpico261]

@tetrepak tesla did not invented electricity... he discovered it.

[peggymount]

@Serpico261 I don't think so. Many people are surely involved in the gradual realisation of what electricity was. Mr Volta preceeded Tesla, and we now call the measure of electrical potential Volts. Lots of folk have been involved it was a gradual discovery.  Tesla whilst a genius did not discover electricity.

[Serpico261]

@peggymount

What i meant was that he discovered and elaborated a natural phanomenon like the flow of electrons and the laws behind it. These laws existed before any human being.

U can not invent elementary natural laws, but u can invent machines, algorithms or lets say structures of any kind

[Bikertothemax1]

@tetrepak he said lightBULB. Tomas Edison is the inventor of the lightbulb.

[Smrtone18]

@Bikertothemax1 no it was nicula tesla

[Bikertothemax1]

@Smrtone18 What??? "Nicula Tesla" had nothing to do with light bulbs! the first one was invented by a man named Humphry Davy, and then perfected by Thomas Edison!

[Smrtone18]

@Bikertothemax1 na im sure it was tesla look it up n dont always beleve the american govermantt

[Bikertothemax1]

@Smrtone18 I did look it up. On 3 different websites including Wikipedia all of which corroborate with my original comment.
