托玛斯爱迪生
托玛斯爱迪生出生于1847年。小时候他总是生病。爱迪生的母亲在家教他读书，他只学他想学的东西。10岁时他读了第一本科学书籍。在读完这本书以后，他在家里建了个实验室。很快爱迪生开始发明创造。他对电报和电力很感兴趣。23岁时，他发明了一种特殊的电报机并卖了很多钱。有了这些钱，他就可以一直无忧无虑地搞发明创造了。
爱迪生在新泽西的门洛帕克建立了自己的实验室。他雇佣了机械工和化学师帮忙。他没日没夜地工作。有一次，他同时致力于45个发明的研究。爱迪生睡觉睡得不多，但他常打瞌睡。他经常穿着衣服就睡着了。一天他竟然在壁橱里睡着了！
你知道是爱迪生发明了蜡纸、火警警报器、电池和电影吗？他最中意的发明是电唱机。他另一个著名的发明是电灯泡。爱迪生于1931年去世，享年84岁。他一共有1 300多种发明创造！许多人说爱迪生是个天才——他是世界上最聪明的人之一！
