Thomas Edison was born on February 11, 1847 in Milan, Ohio. When he was at school, his
teacher considered him to be a slow student. Because of hearing problems, Edison had
difficulty in following the lessons. But with only three months of formal education he became
one of the greatest inventors and industrial leaders in history.
Edison's most famous invention was the electric light bulb. He also invented the
phonograph, and made improvements to the telegraph, telephone and motion picture
technology.
Edison had a special life. He married twice with five children. He loved books, had
excellent memory, and always showed curiosity about science.
Although he had hearing problems, he refused to have an operation for his deafness. He
said that silence helped him concentrate. He always worked very hard and often had only four
hours of sleep every day. He used to say, "Genius was 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent
perspiration." When he died on October 18, 1931, he was still working on new ideas.
