Thomas Alva Edition was really a genius? | #DailyBlink55
It is well known that Thomas Edison didn’t invent the light bulb, although he is often credited with it.
But why?
Other inventors had been working for decades to solve the problem, in fact, twenty-three light bulbs were developed before Edison’s.
But Edison was the inventor who went on to make electric light bulbs a commercial success, patenting it first commercially.
We will make electricity so cheap that only the rich will burn candles.
— THOMAS EDISON
The secret to making this idea fly was to make it practical and affordable. It wasn’t enough that it worked. It had to work for everyone. Edison sought to understand how his light bulbs would fit into the whole electrical system and into people’s lives.
The value wasn’t merely in the discovery; it was in making that discovery accessible so that it created a difference for the people.
