1900 World's Faire: The Face of Countless New Innovations

         This year at the World's Faire, the world was blown away by up-and-coming new inventors along with old favorites. Once again, Tesla has amazed us with his cutting-edge genius. Over the past 50 years, he has come up with such crazy ideas as what he calls the radio, the motorcycle, and AC power transmission. What this radio does is it receives a signal through the air- which can neither be seen, felt, nor heard- and it converts this signal to sound, specifically music. This motorcycle is a wild contraption, similar to a bicycle with an automobile's engine inside, powering the pedaling for you. Lastly, his AC power transmission is a much more efficient way to transfer energy across long distances. Some other new inventors have stepped into the arena this past year as well, such as Wilhelm Konrad von Roentgen. Mr. Roentgen's lasting achievement will be his research into the field of medical analysis, specifically what he refers to as "X-rays". What these X-rays do is quite complicated, and not even fully understood by Mr. Roentgen himself. However, they can be used to take photographs of the bones inside a living creature. His invention's medical applications would be extremely beneficial. Overall, this year's World's Faire brought us many revolutionary new innovations, that will forever change the way we interact and thrive in the world.
