Invention of the Ligh Bulb
The light bulb was invented BY Thomas Edison in 1879, and it changed the world in a big way. Even though others had worked on electric lights before, Edison made one that worked well and lasted a long time. Factories didn't have to stop working when it got dark. They could stay open longer, which meant people worked more hours, which helped businesses grow, but also meant workers had longer and sometimes harder days. -
