Suetonius is well known for his major historical work entitled The Twelve Caesars in which he analyzes the lives of twelve Roman emperors starting with Julius Caesar and ending with Domitian. The Twelve Caesars is considered to be an accurate and reliable primary source; however, it is a little bit biased in the sense that Suetonius is not always impartial in his assessments of the Roman emperors. It seems that Suetonius gives very good treatment to those emperors that he likes and very harsh treatment to those emperors that he dislikes, which says quite a lot about his integrity as a historian. For example, as is mentioned…

After numerous failures, Edison finally found the perfect material for the filament, thus replacing the lamps that used kerosene and oil . An additional source from http://www.livescience.com/43424-who-invented-the-light-bulb.html challenges who really created the light bulb stating that Edison is credited with inventing the light bulb, but the article states long before Edison created commercially light…

While America’s infrastructure was building quickly, it required a need to ease the process of producing goods. This lead to the power-generation era. During the 1870’s inventors were hard at work designing and implementing ways to produce power. With the invention of Generators, it motivated others to expand upon power. In 1867, Thomas Edison played a vital role in working with power. “Edison’s laboratory invented so many things that Edison received more than 1,000 U.S. patents, more than any other individual inventor” (schoolworld.com, 2017). Among these many inventions, he created the first safe and fully functioning light bulb. This lead to a system that allowed buildings to have functioning power, which assisted in better workflow. Additionally, his inventions accelerated the path for other vital…
“… Though Thomas Alva Edison is almost always credited with having invented the lightbulb, an earlier version was developed in England by Sir Joseph Wilson Swan.

Thomas Alva Edison was one of the most prominent American inventors of the 20th century. He was born in 1847 in Ohio and worked several different jobs during his early life. In 1968, while working at Western Union Company, Thomas Edison designed an electronic vote recorder for recording vote faster in legislature, which went unsuccessful with the Massachusetts Legislature. In 1869, he invented the Universal Stock Printer, which synchronized several stock tickers' transactions, and sold the rights to Gold and Stock Telegraph Company for 40,000 dollars.
