1st paragraph

Thomas Edison was an inventor who changed our lives. Thomas Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, and grew up in Port Huron, Michigan. He was the seventh and last child of Samuel Ogden Edison, Jr. (1804–1896) and Nancy Matthews Elliott (1810–1871).

2nd paragraph Edison made an invention out of rubber.

Edison got the idea by the rubber car. Before Edison discovered cement he had made a machine that crushed rock and iron. This invention failed, but the waste made cement. Edison got ideas from other inventions. The light bulb changed our lives. At first many inventors tried to make the filament of the light bulb. The first light bulb burned for 13 hours and a half until Edison made the filament out of a strip of cardboard dipped in oil. Edison made our first electric lighting system.

Many people have a positive impact about Edison’s inventions. Edison’s inventions changed the world, like the light bulb and the phonograph. He was called the wizard of Menlo Park (Menlo Park was Edison’s Lab.) because of the light bulb. Many people wanted the light bulb because it was cheaper and lasted longer, so the impact is good.
