Did Thomas Edison invent the long-lasting light bulb?
Yes and no! Were talking filament lamps here only. Edison had nothing to do with fluorescents or LEDs. The longest lasting Edison light bulbs are very dim. Like a lot of things, it comes down to economics. When you buy a filament lamp you are interested in lumens x hours. Lumens is a measurement of the lamps brightness. Furthermore you want high luminous efficiency, that is lumens/watt, since the electric company sells you watts. So YES some of Edison's early lamps are still working, but that doesn't mean they were good. You can buy an Edison filament lamp on Ebay and screw it into a socket today. Very dim, bubela. 1878 Sir Joseph Wilson Swan was the first person to invent a practical and longer-lasting electic lightbulb.
What did Thomas Edison invent fist?
Edison's first patented invention was an electric vote tabulator, allowing legislators to count votes in seconds instead of minutes. Problem was, legislators didn't WANT to have their votes recorded that fast, they wanted a system where they could make (literally) last second deals. When Edison found out that nobody wanted his invention, he resolved to work only on projects that people wanted.

Did thomas Edison invent or improve the light bulb?
He improved it. Many decades prior to Edison, it had been known that running an electric current through a wire would result in a glowing light. However, using this as means of lighting was completely impractical, as the wire would burn out in seconds. Edison was able to devise a practical and easy to manufacture light bulbs, as well as the electrical production and distribution system that people would be willing to pay for to get electrical appliances. In most of his efforts, Edison was not so much an original innovator as he was someone who found a way to make money off a technology. After he learned that nobody wanted to use his first invention -- an electrical vote-counter (legislators wanted a SLOW means to vote so as to do last-minute lobbying) -- Edison decided to only work on things that somebody would want to use and (more importantly) pay for.
