In 1994, the world was a different place.

 

There was no Google yet. Or Maxcheaters, for that matter.

In 1993, the year of your birth, the top selling movie was Jurassic Park. People buying the popcorn in the cinema lobby had glazing eyes when looking at the poster.

The video game of the day was The Sims 3.

In 1900, the world was a different place.

 

There was no Google yet. Or Yahoo.

 

Remember, that was before there were DVDs. Heck, even before there was VHS. People were indeed watching movies in the cinema, and not downloading them online. Imagine the packed seats, the laughter, the excitement, the novelty. And mostly all of that without 3D computer effects.

 

In 1900... The United States Census estimates the country's population was 70 million. Strikes in Belgium and Germany lead to mining riots. The Gold Standard Act is ratified, placing United States currency on the gold standard. Hawaii becomes an official U.S. territory. Boxers gather about 20,000 people near Peking and kill hundreds of European citizens, including the German ambassador.

 

That was the world you were born into. Since then, you and others have changed it.

 

But it didn't stop the planets from spinning, on and on, year by year. Years in which you would grow bigger, older, smarter, and, if you were lucky, sometimes wiser. Years in which you also lost some things. Possessions got misplaced. Memories faded. Friends parted ways. The best friends, you tried to hold on. This is what counts in life, isn't it?

 

The 1900s were indeed a special decade. The Naughts see end of the Second Boer War. The Russo-Japanese War establishes the Empire of Japan as a world power. The home phonograph becomes widely popular. The first Zeppelin flight occurs. The first electric typewriter is invented. The nickel-alkaline storage battery sees the light of day. The Geiger Counter, measuring radioactivity, is invented by Hans Geiger.

 

There's a kid outside, shouting, playing. It doesn't care about time. It doesn't know about time. It shouts and it plays and thinks time is forever. You were once that kid.

 

Progress, year after year. Do you wonder where the world is heading towards? The technology available today would have blown your mind in 1900. Do you know what was invented in the year you were born? Epinephrine/ Adrenaline. The Rigid Dirigible Airship. The Self-heating Can.

 

It's 2011.

 

The world is a different place.

 

What path have you taken?


 

Well , Nice Times back then i must admit.
