My Day at the World's Fair

Today at the World's Fair, I was introduced to many new products that are being brought into popular culture from across the globe. Of all the new technology, foods, and art, a few major pieces stood out to me.

1. Wrigley's Gum
Wrigley was standing outside of his booth, trying to attract customers to come inside and buy soap. He used on of his inventions, chewing gum, to lure customers. When I took a piece, its flavor and long-lasting taste made me want the gum more than I wanted soap. And, by the looks of it, other fair visitors agreed, as they wanted gum, too.

2. Telegraph
Invented by Samuel Morse, the telegraph seems to be a new preferred method of communication. I truly believe that the telegraph holds future technology as you do no need the weather to be perfect in order to send a message. You can send a telegraph at anytime using a series of lined and dots, which people call Morse Code.

3. Photography
The photography booth was buzzing with commotion as people watched photographs get developed. The picture is now taken with a new device called a camera, an evolved pinhole camera. George Eastman created what he calls the "first camera," which is also known as the Kodak camera.

Overall, I think that this year's World Fair of 1889 was very successful as it promoted peace between nations through the advancement and popularization of culture and technology.
