In nowadays I am going to compare two great inventors from our past: Thomas Edison and Benjamin Franklin. You would be hard-pressed to find any elementary-aged student who didn´t recognize these two names.Edison is most famous for inventing the light bulb and Franklin is credited with discovering electricity.
Fristly, both men were inventors, and both were born in the United States. As children, both had limited schooling, which didn´t seem to affect how smart they became later on. Benjamin and Franklin are said to have selftaught themselves mostly thorugh their love of reading. They are each credited with dozens of inventionts that are still used today. These inventors were interrested in electricity, and I think they would have had a lot of to talk about if they had ever met face to face.
Nevertheless, there are some conspicuous differences. They lived in very different times. While Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity, it was still such a new thing that he didn´t do much with it afterwards. Instead, he put his inventing energy into other cool things like swinfinds and bifocals and musical instruments. Edison was mostly about electricity all the time. His inventionts and discoveries all required electrical currents: light bulbs, microphones, phonograps, fluoroscopes, etc. They had different religions too. Edison´s religious beliefs have been said to be that of the "Free Thinkers" which means he believed science and logic should be taken into account when explaining religion.It can be seem that Franklin´s parents wanted him to be a very religious person, but when he discovered deism, he began to move away from organized religion.
In conclusion, these inventors help to the world with their big contributions, they had not created such wonderful things our world completely different.
