By the 1920s Edison was internationally revered. Pada tahun 1920 Edison internasional dihormati. However, even though he was personally acquainted with scores of very important people of his era, he cultivated very few close friendships. Namun, meskipun dia secara pribadi berkenalan dengan skor yang sangat orang-orang penting di jamannya, ia dibudidayakan persahabatan dekat sangat sedikit. And due to the continuing demands of his career, there were still relatively long periods when he spent a shockingly small amount of time with his family. Dan karena tuntutan terus karirnya, masih ada waktu yang relatif lama ketika ia mengejutkan menghabiskan sejumlah kecil waktu dengan keluarganya.
It wasn’t until his health began to fail, in the late 1920s, that Edison finally began to slow down and, so to speak, “smell the flowers.” Tidak sampai kesehatannya mulai gagal, pada akhir tahun 1920, bahwa Edison akhirnya mulai melambat dan, sehingga untuk berbicara, “bau bunga-bunga.” Up until obtaining his last (1,093rd) patent at age 83, he worked mostly at home where, though increasingly frail, he enjoyed greeting former associates and famous people such as Charles Lindberg, Marie Curie, Henry Ford, and President Herbert Hoover etc. He also enjoyed reading the mail of admirers and puttering around, when able, in his office and home laboratory. Sampai sampai memperoleh terakhirnya (1.093 rd) paten pada usia 83, ia bekerja sebagian besar di rumah di mana, meskipun semakin lemah, ia menikmati ucapan mantan rekan dan orang-orang terkenal seperti Charles Lindberg, Marie Curie, Henry Ford, dan Presiden Herbert Hoover dll Dia juga menikmati membaca mail pengagum dan puttering sekitar, jika dapat, di kantornya dan laboratorium rumah.
Thomas Edison died At 9 PM On Oct. 18th, 1931 in New Jersey. Thomas Edison meninggal Pada 9:00 Pada 18 Oktober 1931 di New Jersey. He was 84 years of age. Dia 84 tahun. Shortly before passing away, he awoke from a coma and quietly whispered to his very religious and faithful wife Mina, who had been keeping a vigil all night by his side: “It is very beautiful over there…” Sesaat sebelum meninggal dunia, ia terbangun dari koma dan diam-diam berbisik kepada istrinya sangat religius dan setia Mina, yang telah menyimpan berjaga sepanjang malam di sisinya: “Ini sangat indah di sana …”
Recognizing that his death marked the end of an era in the progress of civilization, countless individuals, communities, and corporations throughout the world dimmed their lights and, or, briefly turned off their electric power in his honor on the evening of the day he was laid to rest at his beautiful estate at Glenmont, New Jersey. Menyadari bahwa kematiannya menandai akhir sebuah era dalam kemajuan peradaban, individu yang tak terhitung, masyarakat, dan perusahaan di seluruh dunia redup lampu mereka dan, atau, sebentar dimatikan tenaga listrik mereka dalam kehormatan pada malam hari ia dibaringkan di perkebunan yang indah di Glenmont, New Jersey. Most realized that, even though he was far from being a flawless human being and may not have really had the avuncular personality that was so often ascribed to him by myth makers, he was an essentially good man with a powerful mission…. Kebanyakan menyadari bahwa, meskipun dia jauh dari seorang manusia yang sempurna dan mungkin tidak benar-benar memiliki kepribadian seperti paman yang begitu sering dianggap kepadanya oleh pembuat mitos, dia adalah orang baik dasarnya dengan misi yang kuat …. Driven by a superhuman desire to fulfill the promise of research and invent things to serve mankind, no one did more to help realize our Puritan founders dream of creating a country that – at its best – would be viewed by the rest of the world as “a shining city upon a hill.” Didorong oleh keinginan luar biasa untuk memenuhi janji penelitian dan menemukan hal-hal untuk melayani umat manusia, tidak ada yang berbuat lebih banyak untuk membantu mewujudkan impian kami Puritan pendiri menciptakan negara yang – yang terbaik – akan dilihat oleh seluruh dunia sebagai ” sebuah kota yang bersinar di atas bukit. “
ADDENDUM ADENDUM
Because of the peculiar voids that Edison often evinced in areas such as cognition, speech, grammar, etc., a number of medical authorities have argued that he may have been plagued by a fundamental learning disability that went well beyond mere deafness…. Karena void aneh yang sering Edison yang tampak di berbagai bidang seperti kognisi, ucapan, tata bahasa, dll, sejumlah pejabat medis berpendapat bahwa ia mungkin telah terganggu oleh ketidakmampuan belajar fundamental yang berjalan dengan baik melampaui ketulian belaka …. A few of have conjectured that this mysterious ailment – along with his lack of a formal education – may account for why he always seemed to “think so differently” compared to others of his time: “Always tenaciously clinging to those unique methods of analysis and experimentation with which he alone seemed to feel so comfortable….” Beberapa telah diperkirakan bahwa penyakit misterius – bersama dengan kurangnya pendidikan formal – mungkin menjelaskan mengapa dia selalu tampak “berpikir begitu berbeda” dibandingkan dengan orang lain waktu itu: “Selalu teguh berpegangan pada metode-metode unik dari analisis dan eksperimen dengan yang ia sendiri tampaknya merasa sangat nyaman ….”
Whatever the impetus for his unique personality and traits, his incredible ability to come up with a meaningful new patent every two weeks throughout his working career “added more to the collective wealth of the world – and had more impact upon shaping modern civilization – than the accomplishments of any figure since Gutenberg….” Apapun dorongan untuk kepribadian yang unik dan sifat-sifat, kemampuan luar biasa untuk datang dengan sebuah paten baru yang berarti setiap dua minggu sepanjang karirnya bekerja “tambah lebih kepada kekayaan kolektif dunia – dan memiliki dampak yang lebih pada pembentukan peradaban modern – dari prestasi dari setiap tokoh sejak ….” Gutenberg Accordingly, most serious science and technology historians grant that he was indeed “The most influential figure of our millennium.” Oleh karena itu, ilmu pengetahuan yang paling serius dan sejarawan teknologi hibah bahwa dia memang “The tokoh paling berpengaruh milenium kami.”
