Electric light bulbs were invented in 1879 by Thomas Edison, who also helped produce the system of getting electricity from where it was generated to where it was used . Edison was a very intelligent man, but when he was at school his teachers didn't realize this. He had to leave school at the age of seven because he asked top many questions.
