Today, Google Doodle celebrates Thomas Edison's birthday. Yeah, Google's homepage comes with a special Doodle for what would be his 164th birthday.
The Doodle showcases animated sketches of some of the above-mentioned inventions, including a glowing incandescent bulb and whirring type-writing machine. The handful of Edison-inspired sketches in the Doodle are only a small fraction of the inventor's patents.
Thomas Edison was born in Ohio, USA during the year 1847. During his education, he made functional models of a steam engine, a steam-powered sawmill and also experimented with chemicals. During his childhood he worked as a newspaper boy and a weekly newspaper publisher. Edison later also worked as a telegraph operator.
Edison invented the phonograph in 1877, which made him famous throughout Menlo Park, New Jersey. Later, Edison also invented the first industrial research lab at Menlo Park, which he called 'The Invention Factory.' His other inventions include the electric light bulb, the kinetoscope, the projector, the motion picture camera etc. Edison is credited with several patents for his 1093 inventions.
Edison died at West Orange, USA, in 1931 at the age of 84. The glowing bulb on the Google Doodle will always keep the memories of this genius alight in our lives.
Google also celebrated Jules Verne's birthday with an interactive Doodle earlier this week.
