World's Faire

Today I observed the light bulb exhibit at the World's Faire.  I learned about the works of many inventors like Brush, Swan, and Humphery; I didn't realize that so many people contributed to the invention of the light bulb.  I also realized that even inventing something like the light bulb requires a lot of trial and error, for many people failed including those like Humphery.  I also took a look at the innovations in photography booth, which was incredibly interesting.  I learned the specific mechanics that people used back then to develop a simple camera, like the dry-plate method, which the inventor George Eastman used to create the first simple camera, called the Kodak camera.  This camera made the complex process of taking a photograph very easy to do.  I also took a look at the food exhibit, which included a lot of exotic foods I had never seen before.  There was authentic food that came from countries far away like China, Turkey, and Morocco.  I was fortunate enough to sample some of the interesting foods, like popcorn and cotton candy.  The last exhibit I observed was the vaccines exhibit.  I learned about many deadly diseases like typhoid fever and cholera.  Fortunately, with the advancements in current technology, I learned that vaccines for these diseases were developed by the great minds of Almroth Edward and Louis Pasteur.  I am very glad I chose to come to the World's Faire - I was shocked by how advanced modern society has become.
