Description: Richard Post stresses that the NY World's Fair had a huge influence on himself and his entire generation. Many people decided to take on a career related to a field - art, technology, etc. - which they were first exposed to at the fair. Richard always wanted to be a photographer and began doing work for a shoe company (which is no longer in business) that tried to recreate that "corporate exhibit pizzazz" from the fair. Without even realizing it, he found that he moved on to do audio/visual work for most of the key players who provided multimedia for the World's Fair.
