It is difficult to believe that less than 150 years ago we could not switch on lights at our
homes when it went dark. People who wanted to work or study at night had to use gas or oil
lights. Electric light bulbs were invented in 1879 by Thomas Edison, who also helped produce
the system of getting electricity from where it was generated to where it was used.
Edison was a very intelligent man but when he was at school, his teachers did not realize
that. He had to leave school at the age of seven because he asked too many questions! His
mother realized that he was asking questions because he was interested so she educated him
at home.
The General Electric Company, which Edison started, still supplies most of the
electricity in North America today.
