Inventing Solutions
Without most of today 's inventions, life would be unimaginably hard. Imagine a situation where people would walk for days in search of basic and social amenities. Imagine the world without electricity. It is in this regard that man invented solutions to most of these vexing problems affecting his day-to-day operations. Therefore, at this stage, we can say that the process of creating or designing a solution to a problem is called inventing a solution. Before any invention is introduced, a relevant government specialist to ensure that it is safe for the public must first analyze it. After the vetting process, the government provides the inventor with a license or rather a patent conferring an exclusive …show more content…
He used his home cellar to set up a chemical laboratory. He later started selling newspapers along the railroad and subsequently published his own newspaper. The savings that he had enabled him to set up a laboratory at a train baggage car where he was chased after a chemical accident. At the age of fifteen, he switched to a telegraph operator job. It was not until 1869 when he invented an improved stock ticker, earning him sufficient capital to start his first laboratory in Newark (Payson 33). Given his financial stability, Edison married Mary Stilwell. They were married for thirteen years until her demise in 1884. To expand his operations, he set up a research facility in Menlo Park in 1876, which formed his base for inventions. This laboratory was well equipped and, as a result, it created job opportunities to skilled personnel who could help Edison run this facility. Edison and his team made new inventions. Then, he invented the phonograph the following year. He later invented a practical lamp, an invention that was faced with many challenges and competition from other inventors whose earlier versions of the light bulb was unpractical. Some of these inventors included Henry Woodward and Mathew Evans (Keith 209). In the early 1880s, George Westinghouse and Joseph Swan were some of the major Edison’s competitors. Among many others, he invented Fluoroscopy, a telegraph, and a kinetograph, providing many practical solutions to problems facing humanity. Since the core objective of engineering is to solve problems, then it is true that Edison was an engineering pioneer, and he paved the way for most today 's engineering inventions. Apart from inventing, Thomas was also a manufacturer and an entrepreneur. Notably, he had approximately 2332 patents accepted around the world but most being in the
