__ Thomas Alva Edison
"He led no armies into battle, he conquered no countries, and he enslaved no peoples... Nonetheless, he exerted a degree of power the magnitude of which no warrior ever dreamed. His name still commands a respect as sweeping in scope and as world-wide as that of any other mortal - a devotion rooted deep in human gratitude and untainted by the bias that is often associated with race, color, politics, and religion."
He is the wizard who introduced the word " Electric Bulb" to the world and made our lives brighter.Thomas Edison tested over 3000 Filaments before he came up with his version of a Practical Light Bulb. As shocking as It may seem, this was not his Greatest Invention.Edison has an incredible list of over 1500 patents in his name across the world.More patents can be found below:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Edison_patents.
