Thomas Edison’s Greatest Inventionhttps://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/11/edmund-morris-edison/598357/

It is always a pleasure for me to hear something new about the famous inventor,
Thomas Edison, a fellow Michiganian.
I still recall vividly the heated discussion I had with my closest high school classmate
who deceased years ago. We were in early part of junior year when he already chose natural science
field for his major, and I chose Medicine. He knew Albert Schweitzer was my hero and challenged me
by saying that what Schweitzer was doing in Africa is despicable in terms of contribution to mankind
when you compared to, let's say, Thomas Edison.
We argued a whole evening of a summer night at our parents' home in Pochun, Kyunggi-do.
After reading this article, I must admit to my late friend that I am only one of billions of mankind
who benefitted from Edison although Schweitzer spiritually may have succeeded in planting seeds
of humanism in the souls of millions, including me.
