No. The electric light, one of the everyday conveniences that most affects our lives, was invented in 1879 by Thomas Alva Edison. BUT Lewis Latimer improved it...
Edison did not invent the first electric light bulb, but instead invented the first commercially practical incandescent light. He therefore just improved on other peoples work.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Thomas Edison invented the light bulb because people needed it to see in the dark and so he could become a successful man.
yes
Thomas Edison did not invent the lightbulb. The lightbulb was first created by a Belgian man named Jobard in 1835 and Frederick de Moleyns obtained the first patent for such a bulb in 1841. Thomas Edison invented an improved version of the bulb in 1879.
A police office named William Potts of Detroit Michigan in 1920 invented the traffic signal. His race is not mentioned.
Thomas Alva Edison was born in America on Feb.11 1847 and died Oct.18 1931. He was great American Inventor and business man. His inventions include the phonograph (1879), kinetoscope (1888) which led to a film projector (1896) and although he is most famously linked with inventing the electric light bulb in effect he only improved an invention making it into a household item.
some books said that he was a black that started it than Thomas finishes the job.
Man did not invent light. Light has been around since the beginning of the universe. Man did; however, discover electricity, learn how to produce it, and invent the lightbulb over 150 years ago.
