Although often credited with invention of the lightbulb, Edison did not invent it. Rather he purchased the patent and improved it. Of his own inventions his contributions to fluoroscopy and other medical devices must rank highly.

Why thomas Edison is important?

Thomas Edison was the first "industrial" inventor. He took the art of invention to new heights, and made it into a real industry. Edison's real genius lay not in invention itself, but in commercializing his inventions. He made sure that each invention would have a market, that it really was useful and desired BEFORE he invented it. He was astonishingly persistent, and kept going when others might have given up.
