'If we all did the things we are really capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves." - Thomas Edison, American inventor

Thomas Edison was one of the greatest innovators of all time. He pioneered the development and launch of six industries in less than 35 years, including recorded sound, electrical power and motion pictures - delivering billions of dollars in market value.
