Uh oh. The title looks snazzy, and it profiles one of the most beloved inventors of all time — according to Murphy’s Law, the thing must reek.
Well, Murphy can shove a light bulb into his socket, so to speak. Easily navigated and well cross-referenced, the disc also has many QuickTime demos that show off Edison’s 13 greatest inventions with wit and style.
Let’s take the light bulb. Click on it to hear a description of the product from an Edison impersonator while a QuickTime movie offers up a bird’s-eye view of the bulb in action. From there, click away to see why and how the invention works through elegant QuickTime movies and text that comes complete with hyperlinks to a glossary. You can also watch a movie that places the invention in context with the past and present.
A true scientific discovery in itself, this disc would come away with perfect scores if it hadn’t tried to recreate history through “The Daily Edisonian.” The doofy daily shows what Edison and others would have said about each invention at the time. Can we get crackers with that?
