Multimedia facilities, tape-recorder, photos, diagrams Procedures 1. Pre-reading by talking about intention What is invention? Invention is the successful exploitation of new ideas, new objects. By reasoning, analyzing and experimenting new things and new ideas are invented for the benefits of the world.

Look at the photo, please. This man is a great inventor called Thomas Edison. Thomas Edison received over 1000 U.S. patents, the most issued to any individual. Some people also credit him with an invention that received no patent: the modern corporate research laboratory. While this conclusion is arguable, his Menlo Park laboratory was intentionally designed to be an invention factory. It housed a large reference library, and often served to showcase the Wizard's work. Some who worked in or visited the lab later became competitors.
