DID YOU KNOW That perhaps the driving force behind the invention of light bulb by Thomas Edison was that he was afraid of the dark. Thomas Edison revealed his fear of the dark in an interview and he died with all the lights in his house turned on.

Maybe the light bulb was an invention of necessity. Although, it wasn't his idea, he was however the first to come up with a reliable, working electric light bulb. The light bulb reduced gas lighting, candles and kerosene lanterns. ? Transmission Company Of Nigeria 8 TTCNCN NewsletterNewsletter
