Exposure

"Better City, Better Life" requires high-tech as well low-tech, such as making plans to manage the long queues waiting outside national pavilions at the Expo. The Expo 2010 Shanghai presents not only advanced technologies and development of facilities and requirements, but also exposes visitors to techniques, skills and resolutions to often-seen problems. Low technologies are especially important in an age when hi-tech is worshipped and, very often, overvalued. When technologies were less developed, World Expos aimed to present the most advanced inventions. When technologies are highly developed as they are today, Expo is aiming to focus on harmony between human beings and nature.
