Edison

Watching it I thought to myself: "Could this genius, in his wildest dreams, for one second, conceive that here I would be, a mere century later, watching this footage, probably filmed a mere mile or two from where I now sit, using a handful of technologies that he himself discovered, sparked or improved?"
Looking around me, pretty much everything I see has been touched by Thomas Edison.
Thank you sir!

Tesla kicks Edison in the nuts. It's kinda like Apple vs Microsoft.

Then "Thank you too, Mr. Tesla!" ;)
The Library of Congress links, which as of right now work for me still are:
