Edison was a thief who stole a lot of his inventions from Nikola Tesla. Edison’s big thing was DC current and Tesla was AC.Edison stole a lot of crap from Tesla and just made life harder for him.we all know that AC is more useful than DC but Edison said otherwise. the thing is tesla completely revolutionise everything people knew about electricity. He was the guy who created transmitter and receivers. tesla was a smart maniac, who dreams about sending electricity wirelessly ( which is possible right now, in some labs) which made some people angry could they would have lost alot of business cause of Edison, Tesla died alone in his apartment. his genius was admitted far after he was dead

Before you start bashing Edison, please read what other good things he has done. Edison was a businessman and a pretty shrewd one. But he also was a genius and that's what counts. U said we all know AC is more useful than DC; realy? I didn't know that. Sure losses are minimized with AC but DC has its own advantage. Even in long distance transmission utilities sometimes prefer DC (HVDC). Litte knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Contribution from Tesla and Thomas was immense and incomparable to human kind. Any foreign element can create and trigger threat to domestic establishment, if that establishment is getting economic benefits. Tesla was great and so was Edison.

Its funny you call him "Edition". You could have woke him off his grave all disgruntled! Besides when I try to correlate the interesting topic to my life - I am lucky I don't make many failures. But the ONE that I keep on failing just keeps on recurring time and time again.

History is full of conspiracies by the rich and powerful to prevent the common people from being exposed to knowledge that will decrease their power over them.
