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.
