Did Thomas Edison invent the talking doll?
Despite what a previous answer said, Edison did, in fact, create a novelty talking doll that premiered in 1890. It 'talked' by the delicate turning of a crank in the doll's back, which prompted the internal phonograph to spin and thereby play. The doll was only marketed for a very brief period, however, because the mechanism was too difficult for children to play at the correct speed without it breaking.
