 Please view the film:

Thomas A. Edison: Father of Invention, A & E Television (New York, NY: A & E Television Networks, 1996); Available on the Hagerty Library catalogue at: http://records.library.drexel.edu/record=b2133926~S9

   And discuss:

Edison is portrayed rather herocially in this film, what would you do to present a more balanced view of Edison the man and inventor?   Based on my lecture, discuss why or why not Edison should be considered the creator of the light bulb?
