Thomas Edison wasn't merely a lone inventful genius. He invented the modern research team that makes possible the technology shaping our world. Edison was the captain of an organized research group whose method was to attack systematically every aspect of a problem. Among the more than 600 inventions he and his team produced were the gramophone and the incadescent light bulb. This program examines Edison's inventions, methods and impact on our life. Much of it was filmed at his original Menol Park Laboratories, preserved in Dearborn, Michigan.
