U.S. inventor Thomas Alva Edison poses in this photograph taken in 1914. The American inventor Thomas Alva Edison, who made the incandescent light bulb viable for the mass market, also built the world's first electrical distribution system, in New York, using 'direct current' electricity. DC's disadvantage was that it couldn't carry power beyond a few blocks. His Serbia-born rival Nikola Tesla, who at one stage worked with Edison, figured out how to send 'alternating current' through transformers to enable it to step up the voltage for transmission over longer distances.
