Electricity and How It affected America
Who invented the light bulb? The most two important people that made the light bulb is Thomas Edison and Joseph Wilson Swan. These two made an invention that changes the whole nation.
In the old days people used gas lamps as a source of light for houses and they also used candles at tables when reading letters, or writing them. Then one day Thomas Edison had bought this place after the stock ticker made him and his company richer. Thomas Edison decided to make the place he bought an invention place. So he hired all this scientists to make an invention that would one day make him famous and they did.
Thomas Edison and Joseph Swan introduced the light bulb in 1879 to America and how it worked. In Joseph Swan In 1850 he began working with carbonized paper filaments in an evacuated glass bulb. By 1860 he was able to demonstrate a working device but the lack of a adequate supply of electricity resulted in a short lifetime for the bulb and an inefficient source of light. By the mid-1870s better pumps became available, and Swan returned to his experiments. With the help of Charles Stearns, an expert on pumps, in 1878 Swan developed a method of processing that avoided the early bulb blackening. December 1878 a lamp using a skinny rod that was made out of carbon. Between the years 1878 and 1892 the electric light industry was growing in terms of installed lights but shrinking in terms of company competition as both Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse determined to control the industry and its advancement.
A lot of people were having their own doubts at that time. Mr. Roosevelt Wife had a hard time accepting the light bulb because she thought that it would blow up her house. When people were using gas lamps they didn’t know the dangers that came with using them. Sometimes houses would explode because of gas lamps. But when they were actually using the light bulbs then I guess they’re doubts disappeared.

To me Edison didn’t just invent a light bulb, either. He put together what he learned about what electricity with what he knew about gas lights and mixed a whole new system of electric lighting. Edison did it his own way and was well fitted together and he did his way.
