Answer 14

Thomas Edison was, in my opinion, a corrupt business man who cared about nothing but making money and beating out the other man, even if he had to steal his ideas and inventions. Edison was more of a tinkerer than a true inventor.  He got himself locked into DC current as the universal power source for America. When Tesla came along and showed the world that AC was a better choice than DC, Edison couldn't let go. He couldn't admit that Tesla was right and that his DC was not the proper technology for supplying power to the country. In stead of doing the right thing and accepting AC as the correct technology, Edison back stabbed Tesla and AC power at every trun (conducting himself in a despicable fashion). What Edison didn't understand was---his light bulbs, they would work on either DC or AC. That was what the whole conflick was about. Edison promised Tesla $50,000 if he would maintain and up-grade his DC power systems. Tesla worked day and night for months on the project, increasing over all efficiency significantly. When it came time for Edison to pay Mr. Tesla, Edison wrote him off telling him that it was all just a big joke and that he didn't understand American sense of humor. That is just one small example of the kind of man mr. Edision was.
