Thomas Edison (1847-1931) has been hailed as the world’s greatest inventor. Among his many 1,093 patented inventions are the phonograph, motion picture camera and the light bulb. He also created the basic approach to industrial research and development (R&D) still used today. Besides being an inventor, he really stands out as an innovator and entrepreneur which is one of the reasons TIME Magazine stated he is “still relevant today”.
