Question

Imagine you could interview one of the Scientists mentioned in this lesson. Think of at least 4 questions you could ask them. Then imagine they could answer your questions. Write out (or type) how you think this interview would sound.

Answer 1

I would interview Thomas Edison.

1. What idea you had for inveting the telephone?

- "I basiclly used a battery to provide current on the phone line and to control its strength by using carbon to vary the resistance".

2.Did you once wanted to give up while creating an artwork?

My only answer and quote im giving is this: “I have not failed 10,000 times – I've successfully found 10,000 ways that will not work.”

3.What inspired you?

-"I got my intrest by The Civil War it got me interested in invention."

4.How did you came up with the materials for making with your inventions?

"One night, after absent-mindedly rolling between my fingers a piece of lampblack, the material he used in his telephone receiver, I got the idea for switching to a carbonized filament".

5. So, Last question. Why you have to fail to succeed?

"Failure makes you better."

You have to find a way to find success through failure, and so you open yourself up to new ideas and new solutions to the same old problems. It may be difficult to cope with the setback at first, but eventually, mistakes will excite you.
