IMB's new exhibit called SmarterPlanet is now fully open at Innoventions. The exhibit allows guests to use computer kiosks to play games and participate in a poll. The exhibit is themed around using smarter technology to solve planet-wide problems such as high energy usage, traffic, food spoilage, and more.

Another part of the new exhibit is a computer game called Runtime. Runtime allows guests to become characters who can move through IBM's history. The entire exhibit is also a showcase for IBM's Smarter Data Center, a module which runs the exhibit.

I'm tired of innoventions. can't it just be two indoor mini parks with the Sumi of All Thrills and What's Your Problem? Game show. Can't it be an epcot museum or something? it wastes your time in EPCOT ?(unless you go ALL the time)

Innoventions is what Epcot is all about. It showcases new technology from different companies.

awesome. video games are what epcot is all about?


and i thought Spaceship Earth was what epcot was all about!

Videogames? It hasn't been just video game since the late 90's. Yeah SSE is Epcot but the showcase of technology is what Epcot was meant for. Each pavilion originally showcased latest products and research for the company sponsored. It's what Future World is about.

So the great piggy bank adventure is what epcot is all about? oh wait, it's about money.

But then where's the fire game, that's what epcot is all about? oh wait, my bad, VERY important part of epcot! they teach us to use magical flash lights to stop one of teh pavilions from catching on fire

so tornados are what epcot is all about? my bad, tornados are common in florida.

so Nemo is what epcot is all about? oh wait, that's the 2nd pavilion on what epcot is all about! it's about making most of the old attractions crappier! now THAT is what epcot is all about!

No, Epcot from day one has been about American companies showing off their latest research. AT&T showed off future sources of communication, Exxon showed off future sources of energy, General Electric showed off future sources of living, GM showed off the future of cars, Kraft showed off future sources of plant development etc.... and Communicore/ Innoventions showed off future sources of things from a bunch of companies.

Where's the Fire shows importance of fire safety, Stormstruck shows off how to make homes safer to protect them from a tornado.

And Nemo is just A PART of The Seas pavilion. Yes the beginning, and the ride are about Nemo, that gets guests to want to come in the pavilion, especially with younger kids. By having a familiar character people know and like, people will want to look at this pavilion. Now when they get off they are dumped into seabase where they see incredible aquariums. This interests them and they wander to the exhibits. Turtle Talk and Shark World may be Nemo, but it's still educational. The touch screen quizzes have very informative info. The trainers are educational because they tell us about the life of the fish.

Now this is all my opinion, you are entitled to yours, but remember what I said before to you. You sort of acted like my opinion was stupid and made a mockery of it, at least that's how I felt. I'm not someone to hold a grudge, but someone else very well could have said some mean things to you. People hurt your feelings on wdwmagic because you were acting rude and obnoxious. If you want people to be nice to you you have to be nice to them.

erm... i wuz just trying to make a joke

forgot Metlife! =D Metlife showed people The Wonders of Human Life
