By Jane Runyon |

1 Thomas Alva Edison was an inventor. He held over 1,000 patents for his inventions during his lifetime. It was he who brought us light from a glass bulb. It was he who let people listen to music from a machine. It was he who invented a transmitter that would lead to the invention of the telephone. Thomas Alva Edison didn't just wake up one morning and say, "I want to be an inventor." His curiosity and inventiveness started at a very early age.
