Thomas Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) was an inventor and businessman. He is most well known for the invention of the long-lasting practical light bulb. He holds 1,093 US patents in his name, as well as other patents abroad. He had only 3 months of official schooling and was self-educated for the rest of his childhood. He began his career as an inventor in Newark, New Jersey where he gained fame from his invention of the phonograph. His work was so widely accepted that the president of the National Academy of Sciences acclaimed his as "the most ingenious inventor in this country... or in any other".
