I was a little upset when I read about crossword puzzles, as my grandmother was born in 1910. I said, aloud to my monitor, "My gosh! They better hurry up!" ;) Then I went to find out when they were invented! And I found this: <a href="http://inventors.about.com/od/cstartinventions/a/crossword.htm" rel="nofollow">The History of Crossword Puzzles</a> Just in time for Grandmamom to grow up and come to love them so! :D I love looking at lists like this!

The changes over the last 40 years have been mostly enhancements to the progress of the first 60 years. Phones begot cell phones, TVs begot HDTVs, computers begot personal computers, highways begot carpool lan3s, hospital births begot epidurals and on and on it goes with progress from pre-1960 until now. The best thing I saw the list is that we don't die from diarrhea anymore. The most horrific thing I saw was that dentists made half the salary of what Mechanical Engineers made, as it should be, but now the guys that haven't really come up with tartar control anything and stick sharp objects (engineered by M.E.s) in your mouth probably make 3 times the salary of Mechanical Engineers. And yes my under grad degree is BSME. :) After reading through the list it’s quite impressive but most of the change occurred during the first 50 or 60 years of the 100 years.

It makes one wonder if they thought about how different (and "better") their lives were than people who lived 100 years before them. Things change, but maybe not as much as we think, huh?
