Before his invention, which came into light in 1878, other scientists had started devising means of using electrical power and generating electricity for use like oil and gas, in lanterns and bulbs. But the others had no been able to create a means of achieving this that could be mass produced, or be affordable for people. Edison did by using certain materials that were more durable, and cost-effective. Later on, in 1880 he started the Edison Illuminating Company, and patented for the means to ahieve public electric distribution. In this way, Edison made electrical power available for the masses an thus changed the entire world.
