Thomas Edison is never born

During the first month of the pregnancy, his mother falls down the stairs and breaks her neck, dying immediately.
That of course means Thomas Edison will never be born.

How is history changed?
 
No War Of The Currents, Joseph Swan is sole creditor for the light-bulb, and Charles Cros is credited for the phonograph. Marie-Georges-Jean Méliès becomes a famous and successful film mogul.
 
On the flip side, the invention of the electric chair would be very unlikely now that no one has to spite Tesla.

But, yeah, most of the other items will get invented anyways sooner or later.

History continues pretty much the same except the dozens of genius's Edison ripped his products from get the credit for their work?

Actually, change that to, we start using AC earlier so we we're technologically about a decade ahead.
