Thomas Edison Talking About Electricity in 1908
Thomas Edison Talking About Electricity in 1908 in both Audio and text versions.
When I look around at the resources of the electrical field today, as shown in this exhibition, I feel that I would be glad to begin again my work as an electrician, an inventor. And we veterans can only urge upon our successors, the younger followers of Franklin and of Kelvin, to realize the nature of their opportunities, and to rise to the heights of their responsibilities in this day of electricity.
