Yes, but even Edison wouldn't have spelled "technician" the way you did.
Did they have spell-checkers on Apples?
From what I've read, Edison wasn't a
technician, either, but, rather, was a
manager type. He had the wisdom to see a
good idea, though he clearly
goofed with his take on electric power transmission.

Edison were to have had an Apple, he could have simulated
everything, instead of actually having to try things out in his
workshop. Would he?
Edison was much more a technition than an inventor. He took other peoples
unique ideas and made working units.
