Think about the borders of the world and how they've changed.
Two world wars.
Crazy stuff.

I think about that all the time. I wonder how things would be for a 100 years older version of me.
I think I'll be extremely disappointed of I live to be that old. I bet half the problems we have now still won't be fixed and people born in the 2050s will talk about how 2070 kids are worthless slobs

Between 1760 and 1860 in the US might have been neat.
