My Time At the World's Faire

World Faire Diary

Booth #1: The Telegraph - Jack Lilygren and Chris Yip:

From this booth I learned that the radio utilizes waves to transmit wireless information. Essentially, a signal is converted to the desired form of a audio script in order to be effectively received and understood.

Booth #2: Food of the World Faire - Nadia Ghaffari and Aevia Trainor:
At Paris' Exposition Universelle in 1889, oysters and cheeses were sold and distributed. Generally, the World Faire's wide variety of exotic cuisines and delicacies paved the path for today's modern fair food.

Booth #3: Advancements in Common Technology - Cannon Wu and Brian Grenadier:
The 1889 World's Faire was the first to utilize Edison's incandescent light bulb. As the Eiffel Tower was so well lit, many people could enjoy the actual scenery of the tower at night, rather than only seeing a dark outline of it. This phenomenon essentially paved the way towards Paris being known as the "City of Lights."

Booth #4: The Impact of Inventors and Their Inventions - Jake Jakimsen and Matthew Carpenter:
The presence of various innovations of common inventions helped to advance the world's overall threshold of technology and scientific findings. For instance, the invention of the lightbulb, along with the advancements made in circuit technology, essentially allowed for an increased rate of daily use among the common people in terms of electrical components and inventions.
