What were the pros and cons for thomas Edison?
Thomas Edison's inventive contributions to society are obviously his "pros," his most famous being the incandescent light bulb, electrographic vote recorder, the motion picture camera, the fluoroscope, and many more. As a result of some of his infamous inventions and experiments, it is hard to find "cons." I would definitely highlight Edison's "War of the Currents" against Westinghouse as a con. In this contest for economic superiority in marketing of each proposed current, Edison attempted to make Westinghouse's Alternating Current appear fatal, and often made public displays of this fatality by electrocuting animals with Alternating current. He electrocuted stray cats, dogs, unwanted cattle, and in one "sensational display," an elephant. These displays eventually led to the creation of the electric chair as a method of execution. This was actually one of the things Thomas Edison is know to have regretted in his lifetime.
