Smiling children, hard workers, people who really cared about their appearances, and NYC as a Teenage essentially. This is beautiful and I appreciate your desire to credit so many who worked hard to help your work be possible, but accept the pat on the back, you done good.

@@alexsky-ved No. We've always been here. The reason they don't make buildings like this now is because it's too expensive. We still have the blueprints and masons still know how to implement this stonework. It simply is cost prohibitive today due to unions and price of material.

I doubt Kane Tanaka would remember anything from New York, 1911. She was born in Japan. I suppose she could have visited New York in 1911, but it is unlikely.
Those people staring into the camera could never have predicted that I’d be laying down here on my bed over 100 years later and staring right back at them. It’s just wild.
So intriguing how different life was, body language, humans pace, city sound... No sirens and car music. People were much more in the present moment back then... Very interesting...
The last morally sound and sane generation. Cities had their problems, but not to the extent that we see today. There are more people in prison than ever before.
Makes me think of gangs of new york rite at the end when the scenery is changing on the new york view its like rite wear the movie ends this video is wear we pick up
Nikola Tesla did 6 years before this was filmed: "Within a few years a simple and inexpensive device, readily carried about, will enable one to receive on land or sea the principal news, to hear a speech, a lecture, a song or play of a musical instrument, conveyed from any other region of the globe." -Nikola Tesla (1905)
I have a funny feeling the man posing in front of the camera at 2:22 outside of the Chinese restaurant is the creator of the film. He just had to pose in the frame while the poor man missing a leg with crutches passes by, he couldn’t help himself. It’s pretty much a complete mockery at this point.
Not a single person alive today has any memories of this year, aside from maybe Maria Branyas. There's nobody currently out there who can say from experience how things actually were back then anymore. Truly a different world.
We don't necessarily need memories ourselves though. 1911 was only two lifetimes ago. There are people today whose grandparents or even parents were alive back then. Their lives overlapped with ours and we could have heard their stories. My own grandparents were teenagers at that time and lived long enough for me to know them as a teen myself. And yes, it was a VERY different world. Many of these films are misleading because they tend to show only "interesting" sights like business districts and well-off people. The reality for many wasn't nearly as wonderful as a lof of the "It was SO much better back then" posters claim. Tenements and slums aren't unique to modern NYC.
True. However, some of us grew up around people who were from that time. My grandparents were born in 1917. Truly the last morally sound and sane generation. My grandparents weren't exceptions to the rule. They were the rule.
@@JayKarpwick Even the slums were better off than today. No government dependence, low rates of single motherhood, fewer drug addicts, fewer divorced people, fewer prison inmates, almost no pornography, etc. The collective moral compass was generally better than present-day. Then came along the baby boomers. Each passing generation becomes more unstable and less moral. I've never understood the denialism of people who think that life was worse back then compared to today.
The people seeing themselves get taped probably had no idea that by just looking up at the camera, their faces would never vanish from history. And here we are, seeing their faces 110 years later
@@hookeaires6637 "taped" is kind of one of those really interesting words left over from older technology. We now use it independent of the actual method used to film something, because that's the word that stuck, for whatever reason. Language is weird. Words like it are and will be like a language fossil, preserving evidence of a different time and way of doing things possibly far into the future. It's really, really amazing, I think. But because of that, I don't think it's actually that incorrect to use it when there is no tape involved, as it doesn't, in my experience, at least, exclusively refer to that.
@@pigeonpower42I'm quite aware of language and how it evolves and also how it doesn't in some ways. People tend to be lazy when their fingers are flying over the keyboard. I guess the word "taped" is a suitable substitute for "recorded". Some of the pedestrians seen in the video above had no idea that the strange machine on the heavy tripod was a "motion picture camera" as may have never seen one (notice that almost everyone fails to acknowledge in any way that they're being "photographed ") .
@@pigeonpower42 I'm looking forward to the rediscovery of the word "recorded", being the fossil that I am. The word works regardless of the technology involved. When I hear people say that they "taped " using their cellphone (which has never existed as anything other than a digital electronic device) and obviously, video tape cameras aka "camcorders" haven't been in common use for at least thirty years, it makes me wonder how we ever moved on from "horseless carriage ".
Theres people could NEVER have imagined that millions of people all over the world would some day be watching them from the comfort of their own living room.
I see on the news that NYC is being overrun with illegal migrants and crime is getting out of control, and it's not going to get any better anytime soon. What's it like in your neighborhood now?
It is possible... It only requires the will. People made this city from nothing! Now you have a bit further to go than that, you have to scrape off the garbage from the island and then you can build a beautiful city again
@White Rider OMG I know poor you having to live among us minorities who do nothing but work and pay taxes just like.............wait for it.........you!
ikr? imagine this, this was just a normal day for these people, they were just doing normal things they usually did just like every other day, but for us to find it so intriguing TODAY? i mean, i can't imagine how people in year 2129 would think of our today's mundane activities 109 yrs from now!
6:15 The old Singer building! From 1908-1909 the world’s tallest building then demolished in 1967 and One Liberty Plaza built by US Steel. The next tallest building was the Met Life Tower then in 1913 The Woolworth Building. Oh the history rabbit trails these kind of videos lead me hopping down! Thank you the wonderful footage.
I love how some of the people are so fascinated by the camera, they just stop and stare and smile. The smiles of people long passed, it's beautiful and chilling.
The Camera's Were Still Fairly New In The Early 1900's!! Though Not As New As In The Late 1800's... There Were Alot More People Stopping And Staring During The 1890's (Since Camera's Were The Newest Thing And Everyone Was Impressed And Amazed Of How It Worked)
It’s ludicrous. Just imagine for a second you’re going around your business and you glance into a camera lens and never think much about it ever again. And more than a hundred years later people stare back at you. Time travel truly do exist.
Well i get your point it is kind of a way of travelling in time, we can all watch that moment that happened years ago just because we invented something to perpetuate a moment in time and watch it anytime we want in the future. To say time travel is just a more poetic point of view :)
@forsenCD It's time travel from the perspective of two distinct points in time by the range of a hundred years interacting with one another, albeit in one way/direction. People from a hundred years ago stared at a camera with little thought, unbeknownst to them that they are staring at what would be people from a hundred years in the future staring right back at them; It gives the eerie sense of time travel via separating a regular human interaction (looking at one another) by over a century with a towering wall of ignorance from one side, like looking at your reflection in a mirror without realizing it's actually a window with a reflective side that people are looking at you from.
We're born and then we die. See life as a gift. You got a chance to exist. Something so unique and rare and something almost everyone take for granted. Death is just like before you existed.
Right!!? It also gives me a uninque feeling about life and time, the way we're simultaneously so close and so distant from those people through this footage.
flarS Wonder how it feels man it’s scary to think about. Like non stop darkness, no moving, hearing, seeing, smelling nothing. Just pitch black quietness
Damn the had no idea we are watching them after 110 years, just imagine people’s talking about us after another 100 years while we’re talking about them talking about us into an infinite loop, took it to another level
2 things stand out to me, the driving and traffic system back then, and how everyone is dressed. Everyone looks like a nice respectable person, no smartphones, it's like everything is just slower... Man technology really messed us up.
@Somuch Hussle makes one wonder why it wasn't seen anywhere else in the video... no judgements btw... whether their friends or "friends" I just happened to notice.
@War Dog yes you would've. Poverty was even worse back then. This was also when men woman and children were clubbed just for protesting exploitative labor.
Magnificent! NY looked pretty incredible, and people seem to be just the same as now, going about their business with their thoughts and dreams and worries. But it also makes me feel sad, because it reminds me how short life really is... Here we are watching those wonderful people who are long gone, who were they, where were they going, what were they thinking, how their lives turned out..... beyond fascinating...
It IS NOT the same today... oh yeah annoying cars blaring their stupid demonic rap music, beggars all around bc too dependant on govt to work (which is the govt fault btw), socialist young generation who hate the once beautiful country they live in,.... oh yeah please. This young generation NEEDS to be there back in time so they know how to appreciate what they have

Oldest person currently alive is 117. That means they were 8 years old when this was recorded and are alive today to see iphones, space exploration, computers, AI driving cars etc
@@slatt6881 Cool. Civil war just ended. I had to take off a original 8 inch high solid wood baseboard and fallen behind it was a 1910 Hockey card (Montreal Wanders) and a 1914 dated postcard were the person asked how do you like living at the address these past few years. So I guessed around 1910.
Other than the obvious, what I find really fascinating is that the cameraman at the time, felt that just everyday life was WORTHY of filming with that new precious technology, just for posterity ! Somehow KNOWING, that this seemingly ordinary day to the people on the street, would be seen as absolutely FASCINATING 110 years later !!!!. Here's to the foresight of this/these brilliant cameramen for this amazing time capsule !!! I wish they could know how they've made us feel 110 years later !!!
He dis it bc it was still far in time as compared to other parts of the world. And people at that time still were fascinated by the stuffs present in nyc.
It was everyday life for city dwellers. Rural life was quite different. In fact, the people in the film would be the most enthusiastic to see it. Film was fascinating new technology then. The camera person did not need any unusual foresight. They could have been practicing for a filming career, too
We watch these well behaved citizens actually being productive members of society... And our great grand children will watch all of our tick tocks and memes and they will KNOW that it was our generation of morons who ruined their future.
HERE ARE SOME AWESOME fun facts: Somebody actually identified the people in the car at 3:59. The car was registered in 1911 in NYC. The name of the owner was the Lochwicz family. The family lived at 548, Eighth Street. The car was an E-M-F 30 touring car. The father called Florian Lochwicz They had 3 kids, and you can see the servant as well. The father was born in Prussia, in 1871 and he came to the US in 1890. The wife, Antoinette Lochwicz was his cousin and she was born in NYC. They were most probably cousins. Antoinette`s /the wife`s/ father escaped from Poland from the January Uprising in 1860s and settled down in New York City. Florian owned a lot of barber shops in New York, and he died in 1918. His death was published in many papers, leaving 5 children behind.
We watched these films but in fast motion and black and white, like something unreal, fixing these movies with a computer makes us feel them as real people
@@kbeaksskbeakss5208 Closer to 80 years from Hitler, it's little more than 75 years as he died in April 1945. They were 90 years away from Napoleon as he died in 1821. So sure, the statement is wrong by 15 years, but yours is too. Better comparisons would be to wars, as the Texas Revolution and the Creek War was as far back for them as WW2 is for us, 75 years, The First Carlist War was going on it's third of 7 years (Spanish civil war).
Everyone is commenting about the fact that it's old footage while I'm insanely impressed by how the hell this footage was made 60 fps and 4k by neural networks / AI. Do you guys realize how insane that is..??! A computer generated all those missing frames and detail while still keeping it realistic looking.. Denis I appreciate what you do man.

A Cappella Trudbol Just know that all these people are dead as if they never existed. This is the only evidence showing these men and woman were actually a living organism in the entire universe.
it’s crazy to all these people their living just another day of their life. but what they don’t know is people 110 years from then will watch them on a device the size of their hand.
Indeed. And the generation now literally documents their entire lives on camera and No one 110 years from now will give 2 shits to watch those that document their lives 24/7 -itl be like meh Im not going to sit and watch your entire life thatl take my entire lifetime lol. Think about the millions of people that document the shit out of their lives vloggers snapchatting instagrammin all day every day. Everyone has their own TH-cam channel abd youtube is saturated with these vloggers everyone wants to be the star of their own godamb tv show so nearly everyone does it.
@@effortlessawareness8778 This is definitely not true. No one cares about your life in particular however people WILL come back to see the difference in our culture, our morals, the things we liked, what was trending and our reactions to historical events 100%. If in the future it is decided racism is trully terrible and that Trump was a mistake then his supporters will 100% be viewed as vile and disgusting like we view those people trying to stop black kids from entering schools because of their skin color. THAT is definitely what they will come for. So let's see how you'll be seen. How you'll forever be known.
Nace City, Excellent observation. It does make you wonder that, possibly, the next giant, technological step in the future will be time travel. And looking at your phone will be something of the past.
@@jorgeespinosa3179 The next technological step (maybe within 10 years but conservative estimates is 25 years) will be the emergence of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) which ultimately will be the last human invention, as every future invention past that point will be created by the AGI at an exponential rate. This is also known as the singularity event in science, and will literally be a time where Nobel prize winning inventions are discovered by the AI every 5-10 seconds. It will be the end of humanity as we know it, and will transcend the difference you experience between your own life and this video by orders of magnitude.
Benjamin Bakke Hansen That’s very true with AGI Like you stated there will be no need for human inventors with the AI constantly learning around the world gaining more knowledge all future inventions will be from AI
Almost mind-blowing to think that every single person you see in this film has since passed away. Also, nice to see that the whole speed walking issue has been fixed, rare to see time flow at normal rate from film made in that era.
It's interesting that everyone here can have a different perspective when watching videos like this. Personally, with each look, I had a different feeling. I tell you one of the many perspectives I had: It gave me a bit of an existential crisis when I saw and thought: All the people out there walking back and forth, looking at newspapers, thinking about their next appointment and their problems, have already passed away; died and so the world takes turns visitors (us)., and you who are reading and I are part of this relay, in a time that, compared to that of the earth and the universe, is insignificantly short. "...I'm a drop of water, I'm a grain of sand..." Renato Russo.
0:35 the chances of this man to expect someone watching him on samsung phone in high definition somewhere from India are none. Not even the realm of imagination in his mind had the reach to picture this scene. Just think about it. What we see and experience are so different from this guy. Both are same life but still one life has so many faces.
Indeed! You made me think deep my friend, even though the difference you have mentioned is also in between us for somehow in the same time parallel. Truly spectacular and baffling way of life
You know what else ppl can't consider: that the earth was destroyed millenia ago, and archeologists recreated (a decent version of) it with such realism (from our perspective) that the inhabitants of the simulation believe that they are authentic originals of the entities they merely represent, and believe that they are real ppl experiencing real lives for the first time. And when real people visit this exhibit, we call them ghosts and aliens. It is bitter sweet. Interesting, and also sad. But mostly, beyond the imagination of the recreations that live, love, and give their lives, here. Echoes.
I’m really thinking about this man now, he lived his whole entire life, and odds are, this short clip of him standing on a boat smiling at this strange new technology is probably the only thing left of him in this world over 100 years later
@@BlakcSun I mean if someone was born at the moment this video was recorded then they would still be around 110, so the people in this video would almost certainly not be alive.
Three years before WW1 and approximately seven years before the Spanish flu, these people were expecting that the relatively peaceful 'golden age' to continue.
Not like the US had war on its soil during world war 1 and 2, maybe pearlharbour? I dont if i missed something. So they pretty much carried on living peacefully
@@awashrelic so if there was more muggers, murderers, and serial killer back then (sources would be nice), you would have a healthy respect for everyone you met. And that would follow that you respected yourself, and how you presented yourself
@@adrianoherger possible but even a new born in the video would be 109, well more than a century. and being that currently the oldest person alive is 117 and with the general lack of newborns in the video it would be a miracle for even one of the children to be alive
Imagine they all are dressed elegant and just appear someone from the future wearing Jordan’s Nike, Levi’s trucker jacket, jeans, etc. All this people from that time will be looking the time traveler like some kind of freak and curios at the same time.

My Grandmother was born in 1901. She passed away in the mid 80's. I can still remember her telling me stories of what it was like growing up back in them days. She use to tell me how crazy it was seeing vehicles slowly replace horse & buggies. Wonder what she would say today about modern times?
Im sorry for ur loss, but i would hv standby my popcorn and lemon sprite if she was still here n listening to her story n i dnt care how much hours I'd spent on 😂
Bro with all due respect, she or anyone for that matter, from that era would think; “wow let’s go back, this is all messed up”, Or something along those lines. This world is corrupt! It probably was like that too, but it’s more evident now.
Here’s a story about the steamboat at the end. mobius.mysticseaport.org/detail.php?module=objects&type=related&kv=443568 and www.nytimes.com/1912/07/17/archives/two-steamboats-in-crash-the-nassau-opens-the-rosedales-side-near.html and the fact that it was impressed during WW1. www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/OnlineLibrary/photos/sh-civil/civsh-r/rosedale.htm
It's quite impressive how the world changed just in 100 years, from riding horses in the 1890s to flying spaceships and having internet in the 1990s. The XX century was the turning point in human history.
Actually, the industrial revolution was the turning point. What we have now is the resultant of the industrial revolution. It's a long way, and yes our times will be referred to as the technological era but we would be nothing without the industrial revolution. What amazes me is how far we came as a society since the industrial revolution and how much we have improved. Industrial revolution was a high crime and low life expectancy, working 16hrs a day era.

Not a single person alive today has any memories of this year, aside from maybe Maria Branyas. There's nobody currently out there who can say from experience how things actually were back then anymore. Truly a different world.
We don't necessarily need memories ourselves though. 1911 was only two lifetimes ago. There are people today whose grandparents or even parents were alive back then. Their lives overlapped with ours and we could have heard their stories. My own grandparents were teenagers at that time and lived long enough for me to know them as a teen myself.
And yes, it was a VERY different world. Many of these films are misleading because they tend to show only "interesting" sights like business districts and well-off people. The reality for many wasn't nearly as wonderful as a lof of the "It was SO much better back then" posters claim. Tenements and slums aren't unique to modern NYC.
Some are still alive
True. However, some of us grew up around people who were from that time. My grandparents were born in 1917. Truly the last morally sound and sane generation. My grandparents weren't exceptions to the rule. They were the rule.
@@JayKarpwick Even the slums were better off than today. No government dependence, low rates of single motherhood, fewer drug addicts, fewer divorced people, fewer prison inmates, almost no pornography, etc. The collective moral compass was generally better than present-day. Then came along the baby boomers. Each passing generation becomes more unstable and less moral. I've never understood the denialism of people who think that life was worse back then compared to today.
@@derp8575 Agreed. We are pathetic representations of what it means to be a human when compared to previous eras.
The people seeing themselves get taped probably had no idea that by just looking up at the camera, their faces would never vanish from history. And here we are, seeing their faces 110 years later
There was no “tape”. It was large format photographic film.
@@hookeaires6637 THANKS WERE SO GLAD YOU CLEARED THAT UP I HAD NO IDEA WHAT HE MEANT BY TAPE.
@@hookeaires6637 "taped" is kind of one of those really interesting words left over from older technology. We now use it independent of the actual method used to film something, because that's the word that stuck, for whatever reason. Language is weird. Words like it are and will be like a language fossil, preserving evidence of a different time and way of doing things possibly far into the future. It's really, really amazing, I think. But because of that, I don't think it's actually that incorrect to use it when there is no tape involved, as it doesn't, in my experience, at least, exclusively refer to that.
@@pigeonpower42I'm quite aware of language and how it evolves and also how it doesn't in some ways. People tend to be lazy when their fingers are flying over the keyboard. I guess the word "taped" is a suitable substitute for "recorded". Some of the pedestrians seen in the video above had no idea that the strange machine on the heavy tripod was a "motion picture camera" as may have never seen one (notice that almost everyone fails to acknowledge in any way that they're being "photographed ") .
@@pigeonpower42 I'm looking forward to the rediscovery of the word "recorded", being the fossil that I am. The word works regardless of the technology involved.
When I hear people say that they "taped " using their cellphone (which has never existed as anything other than a digital electronic device) and obviously, video tape cameras aka "camcorders" haven't been in common use for at least thirty years, it makes me wonder how we ever moved on from "horseless carriage ".
If only we could have recordings like these from 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000 years ago. Would love to see life in the Roman Empire for instance.

what? how is that time travel

Well i get your point it is kind of a way of travelling in time, we can all watch that moment that happened years ago just because we invented something to perpetuate a moment in time and watch it anytime we want in the future. To say time travel is just a more poetic point of view :)
@Galileo
I think it's more a case of 'time being captured' forever than time travel.
@forsenCD
It's time travel from the perspective of two distinct points in time by the range of a hundred years interacting with one another, albeit in one way/direction.
People from a hundred years ago stared at a camera with little thought, unbeknownst to them that they are staring at what would be people from a hundred years in the future staring right back at them; It gives the eerie sense of time travel via separating a regular human interaction (looking at one another) by over a century with a towering wall of ignorance from one side, like looking at your reflection in a mirror without realizing it's actually a window with a reflective side that people are looking at you from.

HERE ARE SOME AWESOME fun facts:
Somebody actually identified the people in the car at 3:59.
The car was registered in 1911 in NYC. The name of the owner was the Lochwicz family. The family lived at 548, Eighth Street. The car was an E-M-F 30 touring car. The father called Florian Lochwicz They had 3 kids, and you can see the servant as well.
The father was born in Prussia, in 1871 and he came to the US in 1890. The wife, Antoinette Lochwicz was his cousin and she was born in NYC. They were most probably cousins. Antoinette`s /the wife`s/ father escaped from Poland from the January Uprising in 1860s and settled down in New York City.
Florian owned a lot of barber shops in New York, and he died in 1918. His death was published in many papers, leaving 5 children behind.

It's interesting that everyone here can have a different perspective when watching videos like this. Personally, with each look, I had a different feeling. I tell you one of the many perspectives I had:
It gave me a bit of an existential crisis when I saw and thought: All the people out there walking back and forth, looking at newspapers, thinking about their next appointment and their problems, have already passed away; died and so the world takes turns visitors (us)., and you who are reading and I are part of this relay, in a time that, compared to that of the earth and the universe, is insignificantly short. "...I'm a drop of water, I'm a grain of sand..." Renato Russo.
0:35 the chances of this man to expect someone watching him on samsung phone in high definition somewhere from India are none. Not even the realm of imagination in his mind had the reach to picture this scene. Just think about it. What we see and experience are so different from this guy. Both are same life but still one life has so many faces.
Indeed! You made me think deep my friend, even though the difference you have mentioned is also in between us for somehow in the same time parallel. Truly spectacular and baffling way of life
that's crazy bro
In 2120 " The chances the same man to expect someone to be walking around with him in a VR/AR environment are none"
You know what else ppl can't consider: that the earth was destroyed millenia ago, and archeologists recreated (a decent version of) it with such realism (from our perspective) that the inhabitants of the simulation believe that they are authentic originals of the entities they merely represent, and believe that they are real ppl experiencing real lives for the first time. And when real people visit this exhibit, we call them ghosts and aliens. It is bitter sweet. Interesting, and also sad. But mostly, beyond the imagination of the recreations that live, love, and give their lives, here. Echoes.
I’m really thinking about this man now, he lived his whole entire life, and odds are, this short clip of him standing on a boat smiling at this strange new technology is probably the only thing left of him in this world over 100 years later
Proof someone was vlogging before it was trendy
it is shaycarl ancestor who was vlogging there
It’s David Dobriks
great great great grandfather
It was not "vlogging". They were just filming the city
It was a Swedish documentary. about travels in America. One of the first.
Well done.
It is extremely strange to know that every single person in this video is dead. This likely the only video record of them at that age.
The last children in the footage probably died last decade
@@telgou he is my grandfather
I think there might be some people that still live from that time but they are only s hand full
@@BlakcSun I mean if someone was born at the moment this video was recorded then they would still be around 110, so the people in this video would almost certainly not be alive.
@@BlakcSun If this was literally a birth video it would be extremely unlikely that person were still alive
None of these people would ever have guessed that ww1 and ww2 were coming for them
Three years before WW1 and approximately seven years before the Spanish flu, these people were expecting that the relatively peaceful 'golden age' to continue.
And 18 years before 1929
Marcio Sales and 1 year after 1910
And 2 years before 1911, when the twin towers fell
Not like the US had war on its soil during world war 1 and 2, maybe pearlharbour? I dont if i missed something. So they pretty much carried on living peacefully
@@lisaschmidt9718 lmao they feel 1901 dumbass
its hard to immagine that this are not scenes of a movie - that this what we see here was real life
I was about to say this video was made by an AI called DainApp
If this were a Hollywood movie, there'd be a ton more diversity thrown in there.
@@rayfinkle9369 Film represents real life, back then, which by the way, look closely, you will see not just white people, and now.
@@rayfinkle9369 imagine getting so triggered by seeing black people
closes thing to time travel if you ask me.
This looks like it straight up came from a movie. Everyone looks so Classy. Their walk, poise, everything..
Yeah but at what cost lol
yea when everyone was raised/forced to care about what everyone else would think of there appearance and who they were for no reason
bryan aguilar yeah that's probably why there were more murderers and serial killers back then
@@awashrelic so if there was more muggers, murderers, and serial killer back then (sources would be nice), you would have a healthy respect for everyone you met. And that would follow that you respected yourself, and how you presented yourself
Walter Bitch these people were the upper class, Wallstreet and the like.
Of all the billions of videos on TH-cam, this one has to be the greatest.
its crazy to think that not a single one of them is alive today.. and this was just reality for them.. wow
It's crazy in 100yrs that's going to be us. circle of life
May be one of them is still alive, never know
@@adrianoherger possible but even a new born in the video would be 109, well more than a century. and being that currently the oldest person alive is 117 and with the general lack of newborns in the video it would be a miracle for even one of the children to be alive
Be happy you wasn't born in their generation👍2020.. What..
Thats going to be us soon as well. People from 2121 telling us how we are in our graves and what not 😕
Imagine telling these people that in over a 100 years, their great great grand children are gonna be brawling mfs over toilet paper.
or licking toilet seats
Imagine making TP jokes and still thinking they're even remotely chuckle-worthy anymore.
@@TreyMotes keep your opinion to yourself
@@TreyMotes Imagine getting all worked up over a tp comment.
Trey M it was a funny comment chill out
The way they all double take/ stare into the camera is making me feel like I’m a time traveler and they’re on to me !
Same!😃
Imagine they all are dressed elegant and just appear someone from the future wearing Jordan’s Nike, Levi’s trucker jacket, jeans, etc. All this people from that time will be looking the time traveler like some kind of freak and curios at the same time.
Pretty sure they have no comprehension of what a time traveler even is
@@slimjim9438 Wrong! H G Well's novel 'The Time Machine' was published 1895. The concept of time travel was certainly known.
2:51 - Ездят на лошадях возле величественных огромных архитектурных сооружений и зданий, которые не под силу даже сейчас построить с помощью современной техники....
Вас это не смущает ?
Никаких мыслей нет ?
Что все эти люди не строили этих фантастических сооружений и зданий.
У меня есть мысль - что современное человечество на эту планету искусственно заселено на остатки какой то предыдущей погибшей высокоразвитой цивилизации
You can see why crosswalks were developed.
The kid at 4:55 is giving the camera a stare.
Great stuff.
110 year old video still look better than people who record school fights
or UFO's !
Or Bigfoot
stan remasterizados pues
film
yep, i long for 4K 60fps school fight vids
My Grandmother was born in 1901. She passed away in the mid 80's. I can still remember her telling me stories of what it was like growing up back in them days. She use to tell me how crazy it was seeing vehicles slowly replace horse & buggies. Wonder what she would say today about modern times?
Im sorry for ur loss, but i would hv standby my popcorn and lemon sprite if she was still here n listening to her story n i dnt care how much hours I'd spent on 😂
Treasure and remember her stories, your task now is to write them down for others to read and learn.
Bro with all due respect, she or anyone for that matter, from that era would think; “wow let’s go back, this is all messed up”, Or something along those lines. This world is corrupt! It probably was like that too, but it’s more evident now.
With all this economic craziness today, you’re gonna have to explain to your grandkids how horse and buggy slowly replaced cars.
You Been Here Before Idk, a lot of people who are over 100 years old tend to be very optimistic and just go with the flow.
Did a single face that stared into that camera lens know many people from the year 2020 were watching them?
Imagine someone in 2120 reading our comments, mindblowing
Right?! 🙂
Here’s a story about the steamboat at the end. mobius.mysticseaport.org/detail.php?module=objects&type=related&kv=443568 and www.nytimes.com/1912/07/17/archives/two-steamboats-in-crash-the-nassau-opens-the-rosedales-side-near.html and the fact that it was impressed during WW1. www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/OnlineLibrary/photos/sh-civil/civsh-r/rosedale.htm

Corona is gonna have a difficult time spreading here.
It will but It'll take a while.
@@DougsDiggers trust me that thing spreads like a bitch.
The comments to videos like these are always amazing and thought-provoking :)
i know right? always attracts geniuses waxing such insights as "before diversity. gotta go back" and "liberals ruined this"
@@eliminatorjrAll the comments I see are interesting thoughts regarding the video
@@eliminatorjr Or "do you realize they're all dead now?" (/duhhh)
This footage looks like the memory of someone´s dream.
This comment is the weirdest thought I can Imagine, now the video is tainted with this concept, and I don’t mind it!
That sentence sounds amazing for some reason.
It's my dream. I am plugged into a computer at the Medula Oblangata...
I was just thinking it's really dream like so glad I came across this comment
The coment sounds weird, but even thoutgh it makes sense
Rest In Peace to all of these people. You aren’t forgotten and you made me smile! ❤️
It's quite impressive how the world changed just in 100 years, from riding horses in the 1890s to flying spaceships and having internet in the 1990s. The XX century was the turning point in human history.
In some way i think we should regret these quick changes, they shifted so much our human existence that they still plage our own century.
Guess that’s why they talk about it so much in STAR TREK
Actually, the industrial revolution was the turning point. What we have now is the resultant of the industrial revolution. It's a long way, and yes our times will be referred to as the technological era but we would be nothing without the industrial revolution. What amazes me is how far we came as a society since the industrial revolution and how much we have improved. Industrial revolution was a high crime and low life expectancy, working 16hrs a day era.
New order
It is amazing. But what’s also amazing is how people are devolving on twitch and twitter on the other hand...
