You know, I really think we should have another World’s Fair. I just saw another special about them and that silly feeling keeps nagging me that started last year when Steve and I happened to see an old reel from the 1933 (I think it was) Fair about the “Futuristic World of 1960.” They were so awesome – the architecture, the adventure, the awe, it was so exciting. I’ve never been to one, obviously, but I love looking at old reels from them. They seemed so exciting, and it really seemed to challenge architects, scientists, artists, all sorts of people. I love the grounds of the fairs especially. The huge monuments, the art deco statues that were positively huge, the amazing water fountains, all of it. Some people argue that we don’t have them anymore because we’re already such an interconnected society that we all know about the latest in technology anyway, and that we all know where the world is going. Yeah right. The world may be smaller than it was in the 1930s, but we all don’t know everything about the latest in technology. I saw dozens of interesting things at MIT that I hadn’t heard anything about at all, and I usually keep up on these sorts of things. For example, how many people are aware of the latest developments in the field of fiberoptics in fabric? How about the internet handshake? How about the latest in holographics? Computerized camouflage? Internet development? Space tourism? Concept cars?! There are tons of things in development that only make it into the odd 2 minutes left over during CNN Headline News. There just aren’t enough spare minutes to cover it all! And besides, it’s so much more exciting to step up to the latest technology and experience it in person! We so need a new world’s fair. We could start with a look back at what we thought the future would be back in 1933, we could walk through the past, go into how it progressed to modern day, and then move into Tomorrow Land, where the cars are sleak, and the computers are smaller than my fingernails. It’d be awesome! If I ever have a ton of money I’m going to start one. Yeah.
So I watched Survivor. I’m all mad they booted off Gina. That’s all I’m saying about it. Ah, the parents are gone, watch out, the Lawver kids are gettin’ crrraaaazzzyyy. Hehehe.
I can’t think of much else to blog about, so I’ll go back to watching The Cosby Show. Ah, the parents are gone
