I was just thinking of my grandparents who were both born in the 1880s.They got to see the most amazing technological changes in history.
When they were young, they traveled to town via oxcart. By the time of their deaths, everyone had TVs, fast automobiles, could ride in near supersonic passenger jets. etc.

Mine, too. My grandmother was born the year the Titanic sank, and has lived to see the space shuttle scuttled.

“...they traveled to town via oxcart. “
Someone recently observed that people who as children traveled in covered wagons in the great migration West, lived to see it depicted in movies on TV...in the comfort of their suburban California homes.
