Explanation:

We all know the infamous tale of Thomas Edison inventing the light bulb, but that isn’t where the story began. It started more than seventy years prior to Edison filing his patent in 1879. To be clear, Thomas Edison is rightly credited with the invention of the first commercially successful light bulbs; however, many others contributed to the creation. Most notably, Joseph Swan, who invented the first affordable light bulb that used carbonized paper filaments as opposed to the expensive platinum filaments in earlier models. He received a patent in the United Kingdom and proceeded to demonstrate his version of the light bulb in Newcastle, England, and though the prototype he exhibited worked well at the time, it wasn’t a viable option due to a relatively short life span. Thomas Edison recognized the issue with Swan’s light bulb. He knew if he put thinner filaments inside the vacuum-sealed bulb it would take less energy to create light making a more practical design. By 1880 Edison had created a light bulb that lasted over 1200 hours. This design was produced commercially and was successful across the world. If I could bring one person back to life it would be Joseph Swan, and I believe his favorite app would be Google. Most of us have the google app on our phones and use it regularly to access information. With the creation of the internet, more people know about the true inventor of the first light bulb, and Joseph Swan gets the credit he deserves.”
