Ruth and I went with Jennifer, Imogen and Yoyo to Spectrum and enjoyed many displays. Yoyo was able to suspend a metal disk in the air using an electrically charged wand. We went into the most expensive room at the U of S which was a specially suspended room that helps virtually eliminates echos with wedge-shaped baffles. Jennifer got to stand inside a soap bubble and Imogen and I got to pretend to drive some pretty hot racing cars. And Jennifer and Yoyo got to experiment with some green-coloured corn starch mixed with water. A fun time was had by all.
Born in 1948 (so I am a baby boomer) I remember living in a house that had kerosene lanterns and a wood stove and water had to be hauled in. In the winter it was easier because we simply had to bring in snow and melt it!
