12:30 Program, "How World's Fairs Change the World" presented by Charles Pappas, Senior Writer, Exhibitor Magazine. 
Every time you shop at a Whole Foods, eat a hamburger, plug your phone into a wall socket, make a call on that phone, flick on a TV, get an X-ray, lick an ice-cream cone, switch on a computer, ride an escalator, use a touchscreen, listen to recorded music, watch a movie about dinosaurs, or drink a Pabst Blue Ribbon or a Cherry coke, you’re doing something that originated, or was popularized, at a world’s fair. In fact, each new technology and every novel product that rocked America and rolled the world, from the Colt revolver  and the Corvette to fax machines and flush toilets, started at world expos and other exhibitions.
