What a life we have experienced! My mom turns 95 next Sunday. I arrived in ‘51. No AC, no space travel. No fast food. No TV. A party line phone for the “wealthy”, X-ray images of your feet at the Buster Brown Shoe Store. All that aside, happiness still only occurs between the ears.
My Grandparents were all born in the 1800s. They died from the 50s to the 70s. They saw the transformation from ox cart travel to supersonic jets. Their parents lived through or fought in the Civil War.
Electricity, radio, TV, men on the moon and on and on.
There has never been such a change in technology, ever.
Roswell. Except for those Xray feet images. That was too stupid for aliens. It was cool for a kid though, and my feet haven't fallen off.
