Matt Walsh quote:
"Someone born in 1910 would have lived through WW1, WW2, the Spanish Flu, the Great Depression, and the Kennedy assassination all before they turned 60. We live in comparatively uneventful times."
I would probably add seven additional lines.
The same people (born in 1910) would have marveled at the inventions of penicillin, band-aides (came in the 1920s), the hamburger (1924), traffic signals, the electric guitar, walkie-talkies, the TV, silly putty, barcodes, solar cells, the passenger jet, LED, digital maps, rockets, and the automatic transmission.
The same people would be shocked at the complexity of life evolving.
The same people would be shocked at railway stations dissolving away, and interstate roads getting you from coast to coast in three days.
