Nice that was probably better than the original video sends the message home...although I don't know all the images probably somewhere around 70% of them. Thanks

I saw a lot of the images but not from memory of ages by continuous reading and viewing daily-many were before I was born(wow Joseph Stalin, Lawrence of Arabia, when is Psycho made?). I go thru 3-6 dvd a day mostly documentary (hate educational ones) and 1 to 2 books(anything from arthritis to politics, gardening to surfing, but they don't have reef stuff right) a week-that's life without internet; half of the headlines in Yahoo, cnn...., Washington Post..., UN related web sites. Oh actually, audio book(if they are in mp3 it would be so much better) is something authors/producers should develop more, I found them limited in choices and productions are generally drawback but it could be good when I am in the subway system.

I was there for most of it. The A bomb was before my time but only by a couple of years. Einstein was around far longer than that and I remember Psycho very well.
I think the A bomb is the oldest thing on there. Everything else is I think after WW2.
TV was invented two years before I was born.
My Mother who is 97 (barely alive) grew up on the Bowery in downtown Manhattan, she would tell me about putting a nickel in the gas meter when the lights would dim.
And when electricity first came to NYC. It was first in the street lights about 1915 or so. Then people would tap off the street lights and bring wires through their window to light up a light in their living room.
So I guess we are not as old as we think.

A-bomb first tested in July, 1945:

At 5:29:45 (Mountain War Time) on July 16, 1945, in a white blaze that stretched from the basin of the Jemez Mountains in northern New Mexico to the still-dark skies, "The Gadget" ushered in the Atomic Age. The light of the explosion then turned orange as the atomic fireball began shooting upwards at 360 feet per second, reddening and pulsing as it cooled. The characteristic mushroom cloud of radioactive vapor materialized at 30,000 feet. Beneath the cloud, all that remained of the soil at the blast site were fragments of jade green radioactive glass created by the heat of the reaction.

Television was invented:

January 26 1926 By John Logie Baird

Thats what I said, I was born on Christmas day in 1948.
TV was invented earlier but was not sold to the public until 1946 or 47
