Happy Birthday Thomas Alva Edison



Today is the 164th birthday of Thomas Alva Edison. He is held in high regard for his numerous inventions ,one of which is the incandescent bulb, which some still use. Google has put out a doodle to celebrate this day with the following doodle.


The Doodle shows the drawings which include that of a Electrical Printing instrument,Electric Bulb, music recorder , Phonogram , Picture capture ( or camera) and others. These are just 7 of the many inventions this great man has done in his lifetime. 





However he is supposed to be the one of the person who have not been awarded the Nobel Prize in any field. Also Alva Edison has an infamous feud with another inventor who goes by the name Nikola Tesla.

Famous quotes by Edison :
"If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward"
