@itissomeoneelse We won't make it that far....Civilization will collapse LONG before that. The human race is not living in a sustainable way, not even close. 1,000 years from now? We'll be lucky to get through the next 100 without a serious population die-off and conraction. Forget life getting easier, we'll be forced to go BACK to earlier technologies because collapse will leave modern technologies unpowered and unvailable...mark my words.

just think how easy life will be in 1000 years, they will look at us making copies and and having to carry around heavy cell phones as hard stuff

Compared to the middle ages, we live in luxury. I guess watching these documentaries can be a good thing because they make you appreciate this world now and gets you closer to realizing how great it is.

@shgibby61981 No kidding, especially when it comes to medicine. A lot of people alive today would have most certainly died if they had lived back then, myself included.

this makes sense. people got blind from dust that gets in the eyes when mining, after they would become blind they would be put in the hamster wheel on cranes.
-
@tonydason hah, interesting, those who were mining the most expensive metal (gold) were poor.

Tony Robinson is a legend, really has a talent for making history come alive.

This was my first intro to tony Robinson, baldrick came later lol

Very fitting that Baldrick presents the worst jobs in history.

Yeah. but apart from all of that, what did the Romans ever do for us?
Its interesting to see how our ( Anglo Saxon, Germanic, Welsh) people lived their lives. I'm glad I wasn't born back then in such conditions. Modern people complain alot and they have it 1000's of times better than these people did.
