The Miracle of Light – Stephen I

By siero

Even though “The Miracle of Light” was a documentary it was still very interesting, I learned a good deal of information about Edison and his inventions.  I learned he was a man that was set out to change the world and he accomplished it in his lifetime.  If it were not for Edison our lives would be drastically different.  Edison was a visionary mastermind of his day and to think he was all self-taught is just mind boggling.  Edison was very dedicated to his work to the point that his wives barely saw him because he was in his lab working on an invention.

 

Edison was not only an inventor he was also a business man as well.  In order to get his light bulb to be commercially use he would have to invent the whole infrastructure of the electric system in every city.  He knew this and he also knew he would be a very wealthy man from all the sales of the generators.  Even though he was way passed his deadline of originally three weeks he still got the light bulb invented and then Edison became a household name from his invention.

 

Out of the four hats Edison was most of all a warrior because he was very stubborn.  He would not admit that AC was better than DC which was his invention.  He did not want to say his current was defeated by another current invented by someone else.  He did have the other hats come into play in his life but warrior was the one that played the main lead most of his life.
