Shirley's Day at the World's Faire

Today, I went to the World's Fair, and I saw some amazing things.

First, I went to a photography booth. There were things called a "camera" that was displayed and it can capture a scene and put it onto a piece of paper. Before, cameras were very complicated, but this camera, the Kodak camera, just involves pressing a button. It's so simple that we, the general public, can all use it. There was even a camera that can display moving objects. It does this by rapidly switching images.
Then I went to a exhibit on technological advancements. There were lots of cool inventions, such as elevator breaks and new and improved padlocks. But most impressively, there was a light bulb that could burn for a long time. There were also radios which could send messages over a long distance and records which can take down a sound and play it back.
I also went to the Eiffel Tower. It was so tall! We went up through an elevator and got to see a very good view of Paris at the top.
I was also equally impressed when I went to see the exhibit on vaccine. It is absolutely marvelous. Did you know now we can avoid getting sick from cholera? Imagine that! Just a few decades ago, so many people had died from cholera. However, now we know that keeping good sanitation and vaccines, which Louis Pasteur first discovered, can prevent you from getting sick.
