Great Invention

The creation of the light bulb has paved the way for the our civilization today. We now meet at night which can be nearly turned into day. We now use light to our amusement in laptops, at concerts, in the medical field, and much more. In 1874, Henry Woodward and Mathew Evans patented the first electric light bulb after successfully testing it in Toronto. Afterwards, they sold the patent to Thomas Edison. Not the smartest move. From there, Edison searched for a way to build a practical light bulb. Using carbonized bamboo filament, Edison's light bulb could last 1200 hours. Although much of the world lacks electricity, this technology has contributed to the development of the world. Whether it is lighting a room for surgery or lighting a room full of world political leaders, this invention has left a permanent print on the development of mankind.
