Our future is now: The 2012 Congress of Neurological Surgeons Presidential Address.

THE PAST The 1933, the Chicago World’s Fair was called “A Century of Progress.” Highlights of this fair included homes of tomorrow, the arrival of the Graf Zeppelin, and Art Moderne architecture, a style reflected in the artwork for the 2012 Congress of Neurological Surgeons Annual Meeting. The theme of the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair was “Science Finds, Industry Applies, Man Adapts.” The promotional material for the fair reflected not only an expectation of a technological future but also optimism and an appreciation of esthetics. The first half of the 20th century was dominated by these themes. It was thought that the achievements of science and the application of technology would yield a new, better world of prosperity, intellectual freedom, and abundant health. Technological advancements that were envisioned included such things as computerized, push-button classrooms; flying and even orbital hospitals; and, of course, flying cars. The 1933 World’s Fair was so successful that it was held over until 1934.
