Best Answer

Thomas Edisons contributions to science are extremely exaggerated. He invented almost nothing. His work was improvment upon already invented items. The main reason he did improve these items was to sell them for profit.

Why arent most of Nikola Tesla's inventions used today especially the invention of transferring electricity without having to use cable in between power outllets?

transferring energy for free meant the investors would not get a way to bill the users. Greed is the word. They are using his inventions. More devices are coming out with contactless charging. You just place the item on a charging mat or holster. The charge is transferred using coils.


What inventions were made by Thomas Alva Edison?

His mother was a tool maker. Some say Nikola got his invention and his IQ from his mother. If his mother saw a job to be done and there were no tools, she invented them. In Nikola labs he would use the tools of the era. He would not make his own tools different from the rest because he needed his inventions per se to be made with bolts and nuts of the time.


What did Thomas Edison contribute to the world?

Actually he did not invent the lightbulb, he only improved on it making it practical and inexpensive. His real impact on electrical technology was to invent the infrastructure (e.g. large generators, distribution grid, electric usage meters, fuse boxes, light switches, light sockets) needed to support those lightbulbs so that people could depend on them working when needed. The creation and maintenance of this infrastructure for the first time was of far greater significance than the invention of lightbulbs or his perfection of lightbulbs.


Why is the electricity is important in a community?

without it you would not be able to see in the dark


How did Thomas edision innovations in electricity most significantly affect people?

It is not exactly correct to describe electricity as an invention. There are a great many inventions that use electricity, but electricity itself is part of the natural world (most obviously in the form of lightning). Therefore it was discovered, rather than invented. The discovery of electricity and the various uses that were invented for it have transformed our world in very profound ways. Almost all of modern technology depends, directly or indirectly, on electricity and its uses. Without it, we would still be living in the middle ages.
