Thomas Alva Edison, el menor de cuatro hermanos, naci\u00f3 el 11 de febrero de 1847, en Milan, una peque\u00f1a poblaci\u00f3n de Ohio en la que se hab\u00eda establecido su padre, Samuel Edison, seis a\u00f1os antes. Su padre tuvo que abandonar precipitadamente Canad\u00e1 a consecuencia de una rebeli\u00f3n contra los ingleses en la que tom\u00f3 parte y que termin\u00f3 en fracaso. Marginada por el ferrocarril, la actividad en Milan fue disminuyendo poco a poco, y la crisis afect\u00f3 a la familia Edison, que tuvo que emigrar de nuevo a un lugar m\u00e1s pr\u00f3spero cuando su hijo Thomas ya hab\u00eda cumplido la edad de siete a\u00f1os. El nuevo lugar de residencia fue Port Huron, en Michigan, donde el futuro inventor asisti\u00f3 por primera vez a la escuela. Fue \u00e9sa una experiencia muy breve: dur\u00f3 s\u00f3lo tres meses, al cabo de los cuales fue expulsado de las aulas, alegando su maestro la falta absoluta de inter\u00e9s y una torpeza m\u00e1s que manifiesta, comportamientos \u00e9stos a los que no era ajena una sordera parcial que contrajo como secuela de un ataque de escarlatina. Su madre, Nancy Elliot, que hab\u00eda ejercido como maestra antes de casarse, asumi\u00f3 en lo sucesivo la educaci\u00f3n del joven benjam\u00edn de la familia, tarea que desempe\u00f1\u00f3 con no poco talento, ya que consigui\u00f3 inspirar en \u00e9l aquella curiosidad sin l\u00edmites que ser\u00eda la caracter\u00edstica m\u00e1s destacable de su carrera a lo largo de toda su vida. Cumplidos los diez a\u00f1os, el peque\u00f1o Thomas instal\u00f3 su primer laboratorio en los s\u00f3tanos de la casa de sus padres y aprendi\u00f3 \u00e9l solo los rudimentos de la qu\u00edmica y la electricidad. Pero a los doce a\u00f1os, Edison se percat\u00f3 adem\u00e1s de que pod\u00eda explotar no s\u00f3lo su capacidad creadora, sino tambi\u00e9n su agudo sentido pr\u00e1ctico. As\u00ed que, sin olvidar su pasi\u00f3n por los experimentos, consider\u00f3 que estaba en su mano ganar dinero contante y sonante materializando alguna de sus buenas ocurrencias. Su primera iniciativa fue vender peri\u00f3dicos y chucher\u00edas en el tren que hac\u00eda el trayecto de Port Huron a Detroit. Hab\u00eda estallado la Guerra de Secesi\u00f3n y los viajeros estaban \u00e1vidos de noticias. Edison convenci\u00f3 a los telegrafistas de la l\u00ednea f\u00e9rrea para que expusieran en los tablones de anuncios de las estaciones breves titulares sobre el desarrollo de la contienda, sin olvidar a\u00f1adir al pie que los detalles completos aparec\u00edan en los peri\u00f3dicos; esos peri\u00f3dicos los vend\u00eda el propio Edison en el tren y no hay que decir que se los quitaban de las manos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
