You can't make this stuff up. The advances in technology in the last couple hundred years have made for some odd experiences. "History is the diary of a madman."

My wife happened to stumble across this.

I wonder how hard it would be to gather 4 celebrities today who could even harbor a guess at significant event in American history…

My Grand Father went from walking or riding a horse or buggy to seeing men walk on the Moon in his lifetime. Today grown people get excited when a New Phone comes out or Kill each other over a pair of sneakers.

Someday there will be a person talking just like this man about the "trauma" of seeing Hillary lose the election.

Heard an interview with a lady similar. Said the biggest invention that effected her lifetime was the telephone. Said she cried the first time she talked to her sister who she had not seen in 3 years. Crazy what we take for granted.

Crazier that I'm old enough to tell my kids stories that just make them shake their heads. lol

Look up George Johnson. He was a former slave of Jefferson Davis. Fascinating audio interview A bit disturbing of a peak in time. It is pure Stockholm syndrome.
