thomas edison

Thomas Edison to some people was the iconic man who invented the light bulb, but in reality, there were many men before him 2 of them being Henry Woodward and Matthew Evans whom he paid for the patent. Although Thomas Edison wasn't the man who came up with the infamous light bulb he took the idea and improved upon it. I believe Thomas Edison deserves the credit he gets for the light bulb because the men before him couldn't get in done in many different ways, the Canadians Henry Woodward and Matthew Evans couldn't find a buyer so they sold their project to Thomas Edison and he capitalized on whey we’re supposed to do, other men just simply couldn’t get the light bulb to work properly men like Joseph swan, William Sawyer, etc many more If Thomas Edison didn’t perfect it have no idea how long it would have been until someone would if, or if someone even would have got it down so I think we should thank him for what he did. The other men deserve some credit to don’t  get me wrong especially the first man to even come up with the idea with his idea it probably wouldn’t be a lightbulb but he couldn’t finish what he started thats why nobody knows who these men are and we all know thomas edison the person with the best product always gets more fame most of the time that’s just the way society is and will always be unfortunately no matter who came up with it first the person who did it better will get more attention. thats why we are learning about thomas edison on school today and not the other men before him.

Then again the students less fortunate who do go to college coming from a background with no money that will make them eager to work harder in life and get what they want because they weren’t privileged younger. Meanwhile, kids who have rich parents most of the time will always have money in their life so they won’t take college as serious or won’t even need to go but in certain instances their parents being rich will want to make them strive to be like their parents as well they won’t want to seem like a failure to their pa...
