In this book Gelenter argues that the World's Fair had different connotations for example it shows an America who had plenty of invention, and the style of living was an example for the world of how people should live,however all the luxuries and vast inventions, was not enough because he did make life easier. But he damage the quality of life in someway.
I choose this sources because it fit the information I need it for this essay.
This book support the ideas we have about the fair.


When we talk about the fair we can say that, The World's Fair was a time were, inventors and what common life did not  match at any time.   Robert Moses, wants buildings roads and much more that the traditional life was. That common life used to be beautiful Landscapes, and a lots of green and large empty spaces. Robert Moses sees this large dump as a career consequently he sees all this as new life.  He was a futuristic he saw things in a different way, but all he wants it was to construct a new life for us, a life with full highways, a park that brought millions of people, him and his futuristic views seems in many times a dream a dream which came true for him.  He did accomplish to do everything he had planned therefore we have buildings, and all the stuff he made for us to live the future. However, the inventions were done and  people life had change dramatically therefore people can get to places faster also beautiful buildings a tremendous park like "Flushing Meadow Park".  All this beautiful things we have today we owe to Robert Moses inventor of a colossal park highways. But do really need to kill oxygen and replace it with smoke.  Did we really need people with nervous break down because they are stock in a highway. In addition "Gelenter 103" the author says how changed is now the city, today we may see your built under a highway not only the noise pollution is not healthy for us and he also said how about the screechy noise of the ambulance in the middle of the night. Having so many people living in one place is not only dangerous it is not good for children to grow up and because the demand of employees is a lot. Employer hire people and pay them nothing.
The World's have many good things invention things that make our life easier but do we really need to do our life easier and replace it with building packed of people that provably does not ecan even find a job. Do we really need a company like McDonald who exploit immigrants and lower class. That is something that it was not putted into consideration
