The World's Faire

At the World Faire today, there was an abundance of technology exhibits and architecture examinations. To art displays and functioning steam machinery, the inventive minds at the World's Faire really made it a special event. Firstly, there were samplings of a new beverage called Cola, which was exquisite, although the man told us to not try more than a few sips. But my sampling had soon ceased as a shining light caught my eye, an Edison light bulb. It was brighter than what I'd imagined it to be, of course only hearing about it but never seeing it. The light must have shot a star in my eye for I could not see much for a few minutes afterwards.

After my confusion and daze, there was Alexander Graham's wildly advanced telegram. The technology seemed from a world other than our own, but the handset was familiar. Afterwards, I saw a steam-powered tricycle, and, amazingly enough, it worked. Would be a pain, however, to keep it running.
I headed over to the architecture and art hall just further down. We saw intricate art designs that took advantage of the size of the canvas, calling it "total art".  We also examined the people behind these artworks, such as Alphonse Mucha and Antonio Gaudi. Also on display was the authentic blueprints and example of total art usage on architecture using intricate weaving designs to create grandiose structures.
