Lời giải chi tiết :

Born in the USA during the mid 19th century, Thomas Alva Edison is perhaps the most famous and influential inventors of all time. Prominent inventions like the phonograph, the electric light bulb, the motion picture camera, and the mass communication system are a few of his transcendent works. He is often credited as America's greatest inventor. I'd like to profoundly thank you for letting me talk about this great mind whose inventions and work have shaped the pathway for the modern world.

Phonograph - device for the mechanical recording and reproduction of sound was perhaps his greatest invention. He also worked to improve the microphone for telephone, devised a commercially viable electric bulb, expanded the DC power delivery system, designed fluoroscope  - a machine that uses the X-ray to take radiographs, improved telegraphs, enhanced motion picture camera and the mass communication system. However, the list of his inventions is simply overwhelming and their utilisations are mostly practical in our daily life.

Definitely, his inventions and works are still important. He had, in a way, shaped the foundation for scientific development in the modern era. We just have to look at the electric lights and telephones we have in our house to understand how rich his contributions still are in our life. He literally eliminated darkness around us to give us a luminous world.

(Sinh ra ở Mỹ vào giữa thế kỷ 19, Thomas Alva Edison có lẽ là nhà phát minh nổi tiếng và có ảnh hưởng nhất mọi thời đại. Những phát minh nổi bật như máy quay đĩa, bóng đèn điện, máy quay phim và hệ thống truyền thông đại chúng là một số tác phẩm siêu việt của ông. Ông thường được coi là nhà phát minh vĩ đại nhất nước Mỹ. Tôi muốn cảm ơn sâu sắc vì đã cho phép tôi nói về bộ óc vĩ đại này, những phát minh và công việc của ông đã định hình con đường cho thế giới hiện đại.

Máy quay đĩa - thiết bị ghi âm cơ học và tái tạo âm thanh có lẽ là phát minh vĩ đại nhất của ông. Ông cũng nỗ lực cải tiến micrô cho điện thoại, phát minh ra bóng đèn điện có khả năng thương mại, hệ thống cung cấp điện DC mở rộng, thiết kế đèn huỳnh quang - một loại máy sử dụng tia X để chụp X quang, điện báo cải tiến, camera hình ảnh chuyển động nâng cao và hệ thống thông tin đại chúng. . Tuy nhiên, danh sách các phát minh của ông còn rất nhiều và việc ứng dụng chúng hầu hết là thiết thực trong cuộc sống hàng ngày của chúng ta.

Chắc chắn, những phát minh và công trình của ông vẫn còn quan trọng. Theo một cách nào đó, ông đã định hình nền tảng cho sự phát triển khoa học trong kỷ nguyên hiện đại. Chúng ta chỉ cần nhìn vào những ngọn đèn điện và những chiếc điện thoại trong nhà cũng đủ hiểu những đóng góp của thầy trong cuộc đời chúng ta vẫn phong phú đến thế nào. Ngài thực sự đã loại bỏ bóng tối xung quanh chúng ta để mang lại cho chúng ta một thế giới tươi sáng.)
