Best Answer

Thomas Edison tended to hold on to a particular idea too long. As a result Edison held on to the idea of using direct current instead of alternating current much too long. Edison invented the diode. When the triode was invented Edison continued to try to accomplish with the diode what the triode accomplished easily.

His weakness was he did not see when an idea should be dropped.
