Thomas Edison Knew There Was A Way!

When Thomas Edison was alive, people were using candles or gas lanterns to find their way around in the dark. He knew it might be possible to turn electricity into light. In fact, more than 60 years earlier someone named Sir Humphrey Davy was doing experiments with light. Many great inventions have been created because they were built on the work of other inventors. These earlier attempts helped lead the way for later inventors like Thomas Edison. He made a bulb and added a tiny wire or filament which would glow inside the bulb without letting any air in. It worked. Today we enjoy many activities in the evening because of this hard-working inventor. [Provide related book or link]
