On August 31st, 1897, Thomas Edison was granted a patent for his Kintograph… the first movie camera. He also developed the first phonograph using a wax cylinder to play back recorded music. What most people don’t know is that he also invented the iPhone which combined a movie camera and music playback capabilities, and a bright light (he called it a light bulb) but he told no one fearing that citizens would be bombarded with stupid ads over and over and over. Ultimately, his invention was discovered after his death and others received the credit.
