    The New York World's Fair was a place on wonders. It was a place for people to see the world in a different view.  The view of the future that can change the world. But the people forgot one thing and that was the side effects. The world fair caused a national disaster. The cars that was show in the world fair made people shocked. The world fair showed the world that in the future everyone is going to have a car and more. all the new technology that was showed had a massive amount of chemicals that have been damaging are atmosphere. the car and refrigerate released CO2 into the air which cause the breaking of the ozone layer. I feel like the world fair did more damage then helping the world. yes they help the lives of people but making it easier on them. Transportation got easier and keeping your food fresh and more. The people moved to suburbia because of the world fair influence. The technology made it easy for them to live there.All the things that made are lives easier came with a price. The world is getting hotter and hotter. because of the green house gas. The book "The Lost World of the Fair" By David Gelernter in 1939 talks about how amazing it was that they get to see the future with there own eyes. The book never mentions the part were the world getting harmed by it. In the book "Climate Change: Picturing the Science it talks about the harm the world fair did on on this world. the books show how the weather had change over the years since the technology has change. i believe that the world fair had its up and down but it needs to show the effects of the future too. Just because the technology got more better doesn't mean it safe.
