  • to me i cant believe it was 1903.. however i suppose i didnt new 1903 will have lots of things such as a city shape structor like that. Which is like a todays typical city.. just more a modern modest design obviously of today. I thought 1903 there wasnt such a city style.. This video looks abit like suppose the year 1920 rather then the year 1903. What would this city has been like in 1888 ? 1:55 that building u can see looks like a 1970s style building shape.. geezers

  • hard to beleive it was 1903 it looks like a todays ordinary city or a small city of todays... tall building shapes.. Imagine what a city like that would had looked like in the year 1888? or 1850 rather then 1903 ?

  • Imagine if this was in color...

  • @fabiosolo Why don't you also thank him for the for the sunlight, the water, the earth we're living on, etc. He may have been a great man but there's someone greater than him responsible for the things you mentioned. Google Nikola Tesla and see what comes up. ;)

  • Al Gore invented the motion picture camera, not Thomas Edison.

  • WOW! Mr. Thoma A . Edison what a man , what an inventor , this man has outpass any body in the world . Thanks to him we have much of the convenience , or all of the convenience in the electrical field .

    I admire the man .... that s all I have to said

  • times sure have changed, huh?
