According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, Thomas Edison was a prolific inventor. During his lifetime he is credited with inventing the following: phonograph, transmitter for telephones speakers and microphones, and the incandescent electric light bulb. According to a biography by the National Park Service, Edison continued to work on developing and improving the phonograph (what would later become motion pictures) from the 1870s though nearly until his death in 1931. According to Biography.com's article on Edison, he had over 1,000 patents for all of his inventions. Any of the resources that I mentioned above are good sources for more information on the life of Edison.
