MagnatesMedia | Edison, The ‘Idiot’ Who Changed The World
When Thomas Edison was young he was described as an idiot. And yet he would go on to become one of the most legendary inventors ever, completely changing the world, and building a business empire.
There’s a common saying that “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” so it's no wonder people called Thomas Edison a wizard. Edison played an instrumental role in the advancement of the telegraph, radio, camera, telephone, and most famously, the incandescent light.
Many would say he’s one of the most influential people ever. And there’s no doubt seeing him start from nothing and defy all the odds is extremely inspiring. However… Whilst Edison is one of the most famous inventors, some argue that he wasn’t really the genius he’s touted as, and that instead he just stole others’ work and took the credit for himself.
And this led to dramatic battles, like where Edison fought Nikola Tesla for the glory of illuminating the world. Fortunes were made and destroyed in seconds, and this is where Thomas Edison’s dark side emerged. So Edison’s legacy is not black and white.
So let’s travel back in time together to 1847 to see the beginning of Thomas Edison's story, and how he built his business empire.
