"So Edison invented electricity?"

No--God invented electricity. But Edison improved its use by man far beyond anyone else's work. He was the first to reliably generate it for use in the home. And it spread nationally and internationally as a result.

He helped implement it, though I think it was Tesla's ideas which later gained wider acceptance.
