What should i add to this speech outline?

i have to write a speech outline about thomas edison. Here is the WORK section of my outline what do you think i should add to it. here it is so far. Work: Edison's major innovation was the first industrial research lab, which was built in Menlo Park, New Jersey. It was the first institution set up with the specific purpose of producing constant technological innovation and improvement was reffered to as the wizard of menlo park, because at that time people really didn't understand science. Notable inventions:phonograph, electric pen, durable incandescent light bulb, quadruplex telegraphy, electromagnetic ore separation, motion pictures. . Without these basic things, our modern day world wouldn't be so modern. and i know this is not really an outline but it will be but is this enough for this last section i talk about?

1. It might be notable to mention Edison's failures as well as his successes, which reveals a part of his character as "the inventor". He might have been a genius, but he was also subject to feelings of failure. Yet he kept going. (At the end of the his life, he was trying to find a cheaper way to produce rubber from golden rods. How crazy is that?) Mentioning his failures puts a more human touch on your information, if that makes any sense.
