World's Fairs of the past
changed the way we live today.

Before social media and the internet … before commercial aviation, TV and the radio … the way people learned about technology, art, and new inventions was to attend a World’s Fair. These Expos were cultural phenomena and entertainment meccas. Tens of millions of people traveled from around the globe to experience a single event.

​

Many common-place items of today were unknown to the public prior to being displayed at a Fair. These inventions run the alphabet from air conditioners to zippers … and include such every-day items as cars, computers, dishwashers, electric lights, elevators, flush toilets, light switches, telephones, televisions, and touchscreens.

This book details how it happened, why it was important, and what it was like … “In the Beginning”.
