An English teacher, whose name was Rowland Hill, thought much about this. One

Thomas Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, in 1847. His family moved to Port Huron,

months. His mother, a former teacher, taught him a few things, but Thomas was mostly
self-educated. His natural curiosity led him to start experimenting at a young age.
Thomas Edison lit up the world with his invention of the electric light. Although the
electric light was the most useful, it was not his only invention. He also invented the
record player, the motion picture camera, and over 1,200 other things. About every two
weeks he created something new. He worked 16 out of every 24 hours. Sometimes he
worked so intensely that his wife had to remind him to sleep and eat.
