In 1912, in East Cleveland, Ohio, engineers at GE’s National Electric Lamp Association (NELA) Park buried a time capsule inside a hollow cornerstone of their building.

Lights, cameras, action! The Olympic Games as we experience them in the 21st Century wouldn’t take place without boosting the infrastructure of host cities.

It helps us stay awake and active when the sun is out, and rest during the night so cells can carry out basic maintenance and the brain can record memories.
