World's Faire

Today I visited the world faire to see all of the new inventions that are being created today. I first went to see the photography exhibit. I heard so much about it, but I needed to go see it to make sure the rumors were true. I walked in and when I saw Frederick E. Ives's booth, I couldn't believe how realistic the photos looked, they were real people not just drawings. I moved on to George Eastman's booth and was even more amazed because, I could take photographs myself with a camera I can put in my pocket! The only thing crazier than this was the booth for Louis Le Prince who got pictures of people to move! I moved on to the light bulb exhibit. I first saw Humphrey's booth and it had to be fake. A glass ball that produces light without a flame? Come on. Even though the light bulb didn't work, the idea is ridiculous. I continued to another booth to see that someone got the light bulb to work, but only for a very short period of time. Then I moved on to Thomas Edison's booth. I thought just the idea of the light bulb was crazy, but now I see a light bulb that is actually working and producing light. I was getting hungry so I moved on to look at the food. The first new food I looked at was the best tasting thing that I had ever eaten, cotton candy. It was so colorful and melted in my mouth perfectly, I need to get more eventually. I moved on to hot dogs and was hesitant to eat it because of the name, but I'm glad I did. If only there was a way to get them in my house. Finally I moved onto ice cream and I thought I couldn't be surprised by ice cream, but when they handed it to me in a cone like bowl that I could eat, I knew that this invention was going to be everywhere. I cautiously moved into the exhibit on explosives. I had heard of fireworks but these fireworks were much better. When they went into the sky, they were so colorful and were in different shapes, I could watch them all day. I found out that they were using the same technology for fireworks but with guns. Crazy! After that I headed home and couldn't stop thinking about how the world was changing.
