1900 Versus 2000 I think that we take for granted the things that we have today. Just look at all of the innovations in technology and quality of living over the last 100 years. Back in the year 1900‚ things went crazy. All sorts of new inventions were coming out all of the time‚ and people were becoming rich beyond their wildest dreams.
