	Edison’s most famous invention was the electric light bulb. He also invented the phonograph, and made improvements to the telegraph, telephone and motion picture technology.
	Edison had a special life. He married twice with five children. He loved books, had excellent memory, and always showed curiosity about science.
	Although he had hearing problems, he refused to have an operation for his deafness. He said that silence helped him concentrate. He always worked very hard and often had only four hours of sleep every day. He used to say, “ Genius was 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.” When he died on October 18, 1931, he was still working on new ideas.
