While watching the video "All's Fair at the Fair" I noticed how at the beginning there was just a couple riding on a buggy and the horse pulling them while cars are just passing them at high speeds. When I say that I thought back to the introduction of The "Wonderful Future That Never Was" when Thomas Jefferson said going fifteen miles per hour by engine was dangerous and life threatening. I thought the slowest that I really can think of speed limit wise is twenty-five so Thomas Jefferson would have thought we were just putting everyone life in danger. You also saw how there was robots doing everything for you, that includes doing you hair, shaving, making you look younger, play the piano, teaching you how to dance, and a lot more! At the end they showed how the man just paid a coin to get a car and it made it seem like they were going so fast in the car. Just them going to to fair I guess it made them futuristic in a way. They are fascinated by all the things they have seen. Half the stuff they seen hasn't even been created in today's worlds.
The broadcast was completely fake but people didn't know what to think because Orson Welles had respected scientist and astronomers on the radio with him. All they knew was what they were hearing on the radio, no one had any means of communication so they didn't know if it was fake.They spoke about how there was as invasion of martians and heats rays happening.

Einstein. Crazy or Just Misunderstood by People Not Smart as Him
Albert Einstein did many great things like coming up with E
= mc2, winning the Nobel Peace Prize in Physics in 1921 for that simple yet
complex equation. He also discovered the law of photoelectric effect. The list
of all if accomplishments could go on forever I could think with all the people
he inspired in his field, but what about the people who had no idea what he was
talking about or what he had done? When they looked at Einstein what did they
see? An old crazy guy who has messed up hair? Someone that is so smart that he
should be praised for his work? Well take a look at the photo of him below and
I’m going to tell you what I get from him just by looking at the photo. I see a
man that is actually determined to figure out something no one has even thought
about. He is keeping an open mind to what he is trying to do. I don’t think he
look like a crazy scientist at all. Einstein is definitely famous for his crazy
hair. If people were to think of Einstein they probably pull up the picture
with him sticking his tongue out and his crazy hair. Some people try to connect
themselves with Einstein if they have crazy hair saying they are smart when
that isn’t the case at all. Above is the picture of Einstein I looked at and below is the stereotype
about Einsteins crazy hair.
