How did Thomas Edison's inventions change society?

The invention of the lightbulb probably had the greatest effect on society. People stayed up later, as now they were able to read and work in better light than was available from a lantern or candle. Safety was also effected, because the ire hazards of an electric light was much less than from candles or lanterns. It has also been reported to decrease the age of maturity and the onset of puberty in adolescents. The reason for this occurrence it is thought is that by extending the hours people stay awake sets the body into metabolic high gear. Perhaps if we want to stay young... more sleep is the answer.The light bulb also led to other technology that we use today. Vacuum tubes for early radio and televisions were spin-offs of the methods used to manufacture lightbulbs.


Why machines is important?

Obtaining clothing is one of the most labor intensive occupations in pre-industrial societies. The Sewing machine was a great invention freeing many hours of work for other activities (the spinning machine was even more important in this respect but any society capable of manufacturing spinning machines is also capable of making (the significantly simpler) sewing machines).


What inventions made it possible for farmers to sow 135 acres?

The major invention was the diesel tractor that was, eventually, to replace the horse. What ever acreage the horse could plough in a day, the tractor could do in a few hours. The harrowing, seed sowing, and harvesting would be done in much less time it would have taken by manual labour/horse drawn methods.

When did Thomas Edison make the light bulb?

The history of the Incandescent light bulb begins long before Edison, and his light bulb was NOT the original invention of the light bulb. In 1809 an English chemist named Humphry Davy invented the first electric light. A series of men followed, each creating their own version, and submitting patents. At the same time, Edison was working independently and eventually bought the patent rights from two of the other inventors. Then, in 1879, Thomas Alva Edison invented a carbon filament. It burned for forty hours, and this prototype would go on to become today's "light bulb".October 22, 1879
