================================
Thomas Edison and Benjamin Franklin
================================
Thomas Edison lived from 1847 to 1931; he is most famous for inventing the light bulb. Benjamin Franklin lived from 1706 to 1790, and he is credited with discovering electricity.
Both men were inventors, and both were born in the United States. As children, both Franklin and Edison had limited schooling.
Both inventors are said to have self-taught themselves mostly through their love of reading.
Franklin and Edison were both interested in electricity, and I think they would have had a lot to talk about if they had ever met face-to-face.
They were different too though. They lived in very different times. While Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity. Edison‘s inventions and discoveries all required electrical currents: light bulbs, microphones, phonographs, fluoroscopes, etc.
