Description: Robin Asserson describes her favorite exhibit at the 1964 World's Fair. She frequently visited the GE exhibit and years later when she visited Disney World with her daughter, there was the same GE exhibit as it was in 1964. In the 1964 exhibit, GE predicted the future for 2010 but the prediction was inaccurate as it was predicted that people would be talking to many of their appliances. Now the GE exhibit at Disney World is predicting the future for life in 2040. Robin shares that it was a wonderful experience to share her favorite thing to do at the World's Fair with her daughter.
