"The World of Tomorrow" should be the subject of the world’s fair at New York in 1939.

This idea of a world of tomorrow included the enthusiastic presentation of town-planning utopies ( the staging "Democracity" in the perisphere), the conquest of landscape by the technology of transportation (14-lane highways in the exhibition "Highways and Horizons" in the Futurama of General Motors).

The presentation of new technological achievements for everyday (from the electric dishwasher to colour photograph). The Westinghouse Company presented "Elektro", a "moto-man", 7 feet (2,13 metres) large and 130 kilo heavy, which was able to count by his fingers.
