I'll bet they never thought we would be watching them a 100 years later on a computer.

Don't be so certain. Some engineer back in 1900 guessed what the world would look like in 2000 and some predictions were remarkably accurate. The things he guessed must have sounded like total fantasy to the mind back then.

Anyways, he said something about that color photos and moving images (also in color) would be sent across the world in no time, so that if there was some war in China (his very words) then people could see those images a mere hour after in their homes.

I wonder if any of the kids in the video are still alive..

I'm a little weird but I wish we could find out what some of these people were doing. It would be cool. Like why was that man running? Was he late to his job? :)

I was but a wee little lad back then.

This was the year my great grand mother was born.

She passed away in 2001 at the age of 104.
