Thanks for posting this. My son (age 25) often discuss what experiences and technical innovations his father (me), grandfather, great grandfather, and great-great grandfather lived through. It’s always a fun conversation. It’s also a fun and sneaky way to teach the broad sweep of history and use real family to establish a historical timeline the past 100-150 years.
--and not only more healthy but more realistic too. My dad was born in 1901 before TV, radio, the airplane --in fact it was just a few years after the Whitehouse got indoor plumbing (the Whitehouse w/ an Outhouse!). When I was born most folks in the world did not have electricity and now they do.
My theorem:
our ever advancing civilization + all the dumb people around us = proof of Divine Intervention in the affairs of humankind.
