Though not so well known, many century-old things familiar to us today are produpts of past Expos. World Expositions are more than just ceceasions for cultural exchange. They coffer opportunities for countries to show to the world such things as their state of the art technologies and their best food. Many national symbols and widely used conveniences of today were born out of past Expos.
