Whatever Happened To...

Whatever happened to World’s Fairs?

World’s Fairs used to be massive cultural and industrial showcases that drew global popular attention, where nations showed off scientific breakthroughs and visions of the future, like stepping into a preview of the future.

Examples include the famous “White City” of Chicago’s Columbian Exposition in 1893, or, more recently, New York’s 1964 World’s Fair, which drew 51 million people to see new consumer technology that has since become commonplace.

But today, World’s Fairs are greatly diminished in status, for a variety of reasons. Most obviously, the rise of TV, the internet, and instant global communications made some of their purposes obsolete.

Money disappeared too, as urban costs grew and the Olympics and other mega-events drew corporate sponsorship dollars away.

Today, World’s Fairs still exist, but they’re more commonly known as World Expos, and they generally focus on global cooperation and world culture. What they don’t do anymore is draw mass popular attention.
