Reading Comprehension
The invention of the light bulb is often credited to Thomas Edison, but the process involved contributions from many inventors and researchers over time. The light bulb as we know it today is a result of Edison's improvements upon earlier versions, particularly in extending the lifespan of the bulb and making it more practical for home use. While Edison did not invent the very first light bulb, his work in developing longer-lasting bamboo filaments and improving the vacuum pump to remove air from the bulb made electric lighting a viable option for widespread use.
