The topic of today's episode is the creator of many of the things that we use to bring our show to you. We talk about Thomas Edison's life early career and what the world was like in the 1800's before the night was illuminated. We try to put into perspective how much time has passed since the lightbulb was created and the impact of Edison's contributions to science and technology.
