    They're still going? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_world%27s_fairs

      Yeah but not really at the scale they used to be. The world really revolved around these.

      Other major monuments we have left from world fairs are the Eiffel Tower, the magic fountain in Barcelona and the atomium in Belgium.

      It's definitely a great idea to revisit it. I'd much rather see that than the umpteenth Olympics. Science is much more interesting than sports to me.

          I don't know. It's less of a waste than sporting events. And in person events are more engaging than online.
