Thomas Alva Edison, called "America's biggest developer," was an American inventor and businessperson. In disciplines consisting of electrical power generation, mass communication, sound recording, and movie, he developed many devices.
The phonograph, movie electronic camera, and early variations of the electrical light bulb are amongst the developments that have had a substantial influence on the modern-day developed world. Dealing with a great deal of scientists and staff, he was just one of the first developers to use the ideas of organized science and cooperation to the process of development. He was the first to establish a commercial lab.

Firestone, he later built a botanical lab in Fort Myers, Florida, and a lab in West Orange, New Jersey, which housed the world's first movie studio, the Black Maria.
