The Light Bulb



The Light Bulb was invented on October 22, 1879 by Thomas Edison. What the light bulb did was take electricity and it would convert it into light by the use of this carbon based filament. The light bulb was used to light up dark areas. This took the place of candles etc. This changed the life a common person because they could now have more efficient light in their homes there was street lamps that were brighter. Factories, stores, schools, hotels, everyone used them. Light bulbs could be found almost anywhere. It created a whole new idea of access because areas that could not be lit before could not easily be lit could now be lit in a much easier and effective manner.
