The light fixtures seen around in the beginning and at 7:34 & 7:49 are still kicking around. Canobie Lake Park in Salem, NH has a handful of them (two, if I remember correctly.) I was captivated by them as a kid and when I grew up and discovered they came from the 1963 world's fair I thought that was just so dang cool. What an honor it must be to own a piece of history like that - let alone _two_ of them.
I collect postcards from the world fairs. I've always loved the depictions of the amazing lights displays. Thank you for bringing this footage to us! It was amazing seeing the montage of the fair at nightfall.
I grew up with the NY World's Fair. My mother went to it in 1964, and I was born 9 years later! She always talked about it. She had probably a dozen Viewmaster disks of it, and I grew up looking at them for many many hours. Two miles down the road, a ski resort used the Austrian pavillion as their ski lodge! This one was really cool, thanks for the burst of nostalgia!
The only way man will ever be free from each other is machines that can do our necessary labor. It’ll take a long time but inevitably capitalism will fail naturally due to labor becoming less valuable and the people (who will not be us unfortunately but that’s ok) will be able to choose to turn earth into heaven.
I swear that robot shown from 11:37 to 12:03 in this video has a Teletubbie face. That must have been where they got the idea for that Teletubbies children's T.V. show.
There is a segment from the ninth season of the marvelous PBS documentary series History Detectives, analyzing a logbook related to Ince & many indigenous employees. The segment does spend some time describing the early days of the motion pictures industry and I believe briefly refers to NY / shift of companies to California. The particular part of the entire episode which discusses Ince & the logbook data) is approx 10-20 mins length

World fairs are overly costly for host cities. The ces expo is a lot better if you're interested in future tech and not wildly speculative predictions.
I don't speak German but I do enjoy trying to pick out words here and there which share similar roots to English. I can sometimes figure out what they're discussing.

My dad was at world expo 87 he told me about it and I thought that it sounded so neat so collecting post cards must be cool

People were so much more optimistic about the future back then.
Many still are. I was there as a baby in 1964 .
Duck and cover nukes coming from USSR any second then until 1970s.
Bizarre
Technology creates apathy
They still believed the lie
@@Harbalz so don't use computer send mail letter instead... Better back then
Look up " Boston Dynamics robots'
AI a cold future in-store for mankind.

Wonderful love the New York World's Fair.
I was there 1964 as a 2yo recall some of it also.
I remember serving you cotton candy
@@Harbalz I recall " it's a small world" ride puppets . Go Carts.
@@Nudnik1
I remember that too 😃👍
@@Harbalz I remember Fords magic sky way
Thank you, picsandportraits!
Perfect timing once again.
Also quite surprised to see Joachim Bublath here... :)
You really did this subject justice, hitting the right fairs in a compact package. Thank you.
Your posts are always fascinating. Keep up the good work.
The reference to "man's vastly increased leisure time" had me literally laughing out loud.
Wow the 60s were so dream like and cool.
You’re watching sleepcore
Sweet dreams 😴 🛏
this channel was made for me lol - love it!
I love seeing images of science fiction predictions about the future .
The 1964 World's Fair had some doozies
Century 21 next? (Seattle World's Fair 1962, Space Needle was brand new. Awesome stuff you make, and I'd watch a Century 21 video a lot of times!
I think picsandportraits already uploaded a video with century 21 included
sublime retrievals and excellent edits

My dad (who passed in july 2022) was a "worlds fair baby 1939".
To paraphrase the German commenter on the Tokyo show: World fairs are always about what the future could be, never how it will be. Century 21 anyone?
I think the inaccuracies is what killed interest for most people. That and the economic cost of hosting it.
@@tc-tm1my What do you mean with inaccuracies?
What’s the name of the song you use in the beginning? I’ve heard it in a few of your vids I think
Haunting and beautiful

Something broke in the algorithm and UA-cam stopped showing these to me. From this video on it hasn’t shown me anything you’ve posted
People actually believed there was a future.
Why do they call these things sleepcore? They don’t bore me a bit!

It's almost like being at an Elon Musk Hyperloop convention!
Wars were a better investment than our future, just not for humanity.
Hab mich ein wenig gewundert, als Deutsch gesprochen wurde. Noch andere Deutsche hier?
