The Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) announced yesterday the cancellation of Computex 2021’s onsite exhibition due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead the many companies that show off their upcoming products at the event will have to do so via #COMPUTEXVirtual, an online gathering set to start on May 31.

The Unisphere served as a symbol of humanity’s shared home and, perhaps, of our ability to bend its resources to our will. At various times during the World’s Fair, a performer wearing a Bell Aviation’s Rocket Pack jetted past the massive globe, highlighting humankind’s ability to rise above any and all challenges. Still located in Flushing Meadows, the Unisphere is the height of a 12-story building. In Wiese’s header … [Read more...] about World’s Fair 2.0: The mission to resurrect the greatest tech expo of all time
