In his lifetime, Thomas Edison had 1093 patents and held the record for having the most patents. If we look at his very first invention, we can see how it led to other great modifications from other great minds since Edison. He called his first invention the phonograph, which he made as a tinfoil cylinder with a stylus attached. Most people in the younger generation don't know that a stylus (a needle) is what was later used to play records on early record players and stereos. Without Edison's early experiments to improve the telegraph, by having it play sound back when messages came through the telegraph, we would not have had:early record playersearly stereosimprovements on both record players and stereosdevelopment of tape recordings, reel to reeldevelopment of tape recordings, cassettedevelopment of recordings on CDsdevelopment of tape recordings on DVDsAlthough Thomas Edison did not invent these, had he not invented the phonograph, the progression of inventions and improvements may not have happened.
