I stumbled on this amazing documentary, "Expo - Magic of the White City" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6HuBYiQEeM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6HuBYiQEeM The first 10 minutes are a little cornball but the rest is amazing. I'd never have even looked except it's narrated by Gene Wilder who hadn't done anything for decades and I got curious to know why he'd choose to do this. Apparently Electricity was "introduced" at the the Expo, as well as the Ferris Wheel, and a bunch of other things https://chicagoworldsfair1893.weebly.com/new-products-and-technologies.html https://chicagoworldsfair1893.weebly.com/new-products-and-te... It's amazing to me that 27 million people could manage to visit an expo in 1893
