    Did you know that Thomas Edison’s greatest invention is the light bulb? Now the lightbulb, are safe for being used and it doesn’t flicker or burn out by the filament. The light bulb benefits the whole world by electricity. I think the light bulb is the best invention because I am able to watch TV. As I explained Thomas Edison’s best invention is the light bulb. Without it everything in the world that runs on electricity would not work.

    Do you know what a kintoscope is? Well keep reading and you will learn more! The kintoscope is a motion picture camera made by Edison that put sound and shows together and makes a movie. The kintoscope benefits people that love to watch movies in the theatre. It’s the best because I love to watch movies and shows in the theater or at my house. If you like to watch movies you will agree this is Thomas Edison’s best invention.

    Thomas Edison made over 1,000 inventions and I think the lightbuld is the most useful and safe. Keep reading and you’ll find out more. The light bulb lights up a room by the burning filament inside the glass container. The light bulb benefits anyone who wants to do stay awake during the night. I think the light bulb is Edison’s best invention because you couldn’t see during the night. Now you can! We still use it to this day. You can clearly see this is the best invention Thomas Edison ever made!

    1. The lightbulb is the safest invention. Hockey rinks would be lit by candel light and the wax would drip on the ice and melt it. The essay was GREAT. It was very hooking.

    Have you ever had an x-ray? Read more and you will learn what the x-ray is. Thomas Edison’s screen for the x-ray was calcium tungstate that made the images brighter. It’s easier to read the images when they are brighter. The x-ray benefits sick or hurt people. I think that the x-ray is Thomas Edison’s greatest invention because it saves many lives. In conclusion it is clear that this is his greatest invention!

    Have you ever seen or had an X-ray? Edison invented the medical X-ray, and I think it is his best over 1,000 inventions. It helps diagnose and find many medical conditions. Tungstate screens make the pictures bright .The X-ray benefits any injured person or animal. I think the X-ray is the best because a lot of people would get sick or hurt and doctors couldn’t find what was wrong without this technology. You can clearly now understand that the X-ray is an important product .This is Thomas Edison’s best invention, you should agree because a lot of people would have been dead by now, maybe even you.

    I than Thomas Edison’s best invention is the phonograph .Do you know what a phonograph is? The phonon graph records your voice and music. For recording and music you turn a crank and press a stylus. Ti benefits people for entertainment and they record messages. This is Thomas Edison’s best invention because if you didn’t have the phonograph you would not have music for entertainment. If you like music the phonograph record’s music back to you.

    I know Tomas Edison made over 1,000 inventions but I think the light bulb is the best out of all. The light bulb produces light by turning a light switch on and off by using a filament made out of bamboo. Put it in glass bulb and plug it in it glows! It benefits people all over the world who want light. I think Tomas Edison’s best invention is the light bulb because without the light bulb we would still be using candle light. In conclusion I believe the light bulb is the best.

    Do you know that the phonograph is Thomas Edison’s best invention? Read on to find why I think that is true. To make it work, speak into mouthpiece and your voice vibrations will dent the foil. To play it back run the needle over the groves and you will hear the sounds recorded. The phonograph benefits people who want to make contact to friends and do not want to use mail. I think the phonograph is Thomas Edison’s best invention because it was one of his most incredible, unlikely inventions. Now I hope you see that the phonograph is Thomas Edison’s best invention.

    I think the firestone tire is the Thomas Edison’s best invention because in these days we can drive. It connects to the engine and that is how it works. The firestone tire help benefit the automobile. I think the firestone tire is the best invention because if we couldn’t drive and we would have to walk everywhere. We would get tired of walking and you would fall asleep. It is clear that the firestone tire is the best invention because we need to get to places like work. Walking is slow and running is tiring there for driving is the fastest way.

    Do use the light bulbs in your house? Because Thomas Edison invented the light bulb! That’s why I think the light bulb is his best invention ever! The light bulb gives light and is safer than using candles and your fireplace to light your house. The light bulb is important Because it is safer for inside your home and the street at night. I think the light bulb is Thomas Edison’s best invention because when people bought it Edison sold a lot of light bulbs. It was clear to see that the light bulb was Thomas Edison’s best invention

    I have heard that Thomas Edison has made over 1,000 inventions, but I think the x-ray is the best of all. The electromagnetic energy makes the x-ray work and it diagnoses medical issues with the calcium tungstate screens. The x-ray benefits people in the medical field, and people who are hurt. I think x-rays are Thomas Edison’s greatest invention if there weren’t any x-rays we couldn’t tell if people were injured and many people on earth would be dead. So as you have read that is why I think the x-ray is the best.

    Thomas Edison has made many amazing inventions but I think the light bulb was the best. It was so good we still use it now. The light bulb works by the filament burning inside the bulb, but if any air gets into it the fire will burn out. All you have to do is turn on the lights. The light bulb benefits cities , towns, and people who need light in their house schools and even the world. I think the light bulb is the best because if there was no light bulb school would be much harder. We would have to have a candle on our desk or have trouble seeing, reading or writing. Because of all these reasons I am sure that you can tell that5 the light bulb was Thomas Edison’s best invention.

    Have you heard of the phonograph? Do you know what the phonograph does? Keep reading and you will learn more about Thomas Edison’s best invention. The phonograph records people’s voices. People can play the message back by turning a crank while pressing a stylus against the foil. The phonograph benefits people that want to keep in touch and people in circus shows and in businesses. I think the phonograph is Edison’s best invention because it’s like an answering machine and it started the music industry. As you had read the phonograph is the best invention of all times! If you like talking to your friends you should love the phonograph!

    I think Thomas Edison’s best invention is the quadruplex telegraph. Do you know what that is? I’ll tell you. The quadruplex telegraph can send four messages at the same time. The quadruplex telegraph benefits the people of the world. I think the quadruplex telegraph is the best because it’s the leading invention to unwired cellphone. Now you see that we would not have cellphones without the quadruplex telegraph.

    I think the electric pen is the best because people might need to use it at work at home and at school to copy paper. By developing the electric pen as a perforated. Multiple copies can be mad at once! The electric pen benefits workers who need to copy paper. I think the electric pen is Tomas Edison best invention because you can make copies for work at home or at school copy books for people if they like that book. If you have something to write down you should think the electric pen is the best

    Thomas Edison had a lot of good inventions but I think the light bulb is the best invention of all time. Edison and his team made a small version of the light bulb that could fit in small spaces. To make it work the light bulb has to be vacuum shut. The light bulb benefits cities, states, the world and streets. They help people see everything. I think the light bulb is the best invention because the light doesn’t just light up the whole world it also helps cars know when to go. The stoplight uses the light bulb. Too. As you can see the light bulb is the best invention Thomas Edison ever invented.

    Isn’t it amazing that when you flip a switch the lights come on? Thomas Edison invented the light bulb. Edison burned cotton and carbon in a hot oven the and then it created a filament got so hot it glowed to make a light bulb work. The light bulb benefits people, states and cities by lighting them up. I think the light bulb is the best invention because the light bulb is lighting up the world. If you like to stay up when it is dark out then you would agree that the light bulb is Thomas Edison’s best invention.

    Thomas Edison made more inventions than you can count. I know that the light bulb is not his favorite invention but I think that it is his best. Light bulbs were made from glass and there’s something called a filament that gets so hot that it glows .it uses wires so we can flip on a swich on and lights up the whole room. I think the light bulb is Thomas Edison’s greatest invention because you can’t see without light. Light bulbs benefit every country that needs light bulbs.in space you could tell that there are lights. Clearly the reasons I have discribed prove that the light bulb is Edison’s greatest invention of all time.

    I think that Thomas Edison's best invention is the light bulb. Without it, how could you see? The light bulb works by the electric current going through the filament and it heats up and glows. The light bulb benefits anyone that needs the light. I think the light bulb is important because we can't see things in the dark without the light of the sun. As I stated, I believe the light bulb is the best invention of all time.

    What do you think Thomas Edison’s best invention is? I think it is wireless electricity. What do think this is? Wireless energy controls everything by turning off and on the switch the electricity will go on. It benefits the light bulb and homes. Electricity is the best because if we don’t have electricity you will fall into a hole or bump something. If you like video games you should agree wireless electricity is necessary and by far Thomas Edison’s best invention.

    I think Thomas Edison’s best invention is the electric pen. The electric pen can copy writing and sand boring. It uses a small motor to push a needle up and down. It uses a stencil to copy the ink through the paper. It benefits the jobs that have to write a lot. It benefits the lawyers. The electric pen can also copy money at once. In conclusion, it is Thomas Edison’s best invention.
