Thank you eileenkelly123 for helping me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But why did he do it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it was invented because some people couldn't even afford candles! So, he made it so it would be a lot easier for people to use light.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

people went to sleep when it was dark and would wake when it was light. He wanted to change that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok thank you eileenkelly123

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But dont rely on me for all of your questions. Make sure you do some research too!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know I tried for half an hour but nothing came up all the stuff that came up was about new innovations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

He made it because using candles, lamps, and lanterns. But that was dangerous and expensive. This also put smoke and dangerous fumes into the room which made it hard to breath. So Edison had the idea of a lightbulb
