\n T\u00e2n\u0103rul Edison a ob\u0163inut drepturile exclusive de a vinde ziare \u00een mijloacele de transport \u015fi, cu ajutorul a patru asisten\u0163i, a \u00eenceput s\u0103 tip\u0103reasc\u0103 ziarul Grand Trunk Herald. Acesta a fost \u00eenceputul activit\u0103\u0163ii antreprenoriale duse de Edison.<\/p>\n
\nDup\u0103 ce a salvat un copil de trei ani din fa\u0163a unui tren \u00een mers, a primit un post de telegrafist, la 16 ani. Iar \u00een 1866, c\u00e2nd avea doar 19 ani, s-a mutat \u00een Louisville, Kentucky, unde a \u00eenceput s\u0103 lucreze \u00een cadrul biroului Associated Press. Lucra \u00een schimbul de noapte, iar acest lucru \u00eei permitea s\u0103 \u00ee\u015fi dedice timpul celor dou\u0103 activit\u0103\u0163i preferate: cititul \u015fi experimentele. \u00centr-o noapte, \u00een timp ce lucra la o baterie, a v\u0103rsat acid sulfuric. Acesta a g\u0103urit podeaua \u015fi s-a scurs pe biroul \u015fefului lui.<\/p>\n
\nA doua zi, a fost concediat, iar ca urmare \u015fi-a dedicat tot timpul experimentelor. \u00cen 1869, t\u00e2n\u0103rul inovator breveta ma\u015fina electromagnetic\u0103 de \u00eenregistrat voturi, \u00eens\u0103 originalitatea acesteia nu i-a asigurat succesul comercial. A conceput apoi un telegraf care putea s\u0103 primeasc\u0103 \u015fi s\u0103 trimit\u0103 simultan c\u00e2te dou\u0103 mesaje. Western Union a cump\u0103rat tehnologia inventat\u0103 de Edison, asigur\u00e2nd acestuia resursele financiare necesare pentru a se muta din Newark, NJ, \u00een localitatea Menlo Park din apropiere. \u00cen 1876 a deschis un laborator unde putea explora posibilit\u0103\u0163ile dinamului \u015fi ale altor dispozitive electrice.<\/p>\n
\nAcel laborator urma s\u0103 produc\u0103 poate cea mai mare inven\u0163ie a timpurilor sale \u2013 becul electric cu filament func\u0163ional. \u00cen 1890, Edison a fondat compania Edison General Electric Company prin regruparea diferitelor societ\u0103\u0163i pe care le de\u0163inea. A ap\u0103rut \u015fi un competitor, Thomson-Houston Company, devenit principala companie de inova\u0163ii electrice prin seria de fuziuni conduse de Charles A. Coffin, fost produc\u0103tor de \u00eenc\u0103l\u0163\u0103minte din Lynn, Massachusettes.<\/p>\n
\nPe m\u0103sur\u0103 ce se extindeau, celor dou\u0103 companii le era tot mai greu s\u0103 produc\u0103 separat instala\u0163ii electrice complete baz\u00e2ndu-se exclusiv pe propriile brevete \u015fi tehnologii. Prin urmare, \u00een 1892, cele dou\u0103 companii s-au unit. Noua organiza\u0163ie a primit numele de General Electric Company. Edison a fost activ \u00een afaceri p\u00e2n\u0103 la sf\u00e2r\u015ftiul vie\u0163ii. C\u00e2teva dintre propunerile ini\u0163iate de el continu\u0103 s\u0103 fac\u0103 parte din GE \u015fi \u00een prezent, mai exact diviziile de iluminat, transport, produse industriale, transport de energie \u015fi echipamente medicale. La o sut\u0103 de ani de la debut, GE \u015fi-a extins prezen\u0163a pe noi pie\u0163e, online \u015fi \u00een \u00eentreaga lume. \u00cen 2012, General Electric a \u00eenre-gistrat venituri de 144,9 miliarde de dolari.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
