Facination by the earliest audios, pictures, and footage and the lives of people in them

I always like looking at pictures and footage of an era where cameras were just invented. It somehow makes the late 1800's feel more real in a sense. I feel like It's the closest thing we have to experiencing time travel. 

It's so fascinating to see how different things were about a century and a half ago. I always love thinking about the things that these people have yet to experience like big historical events, the famous and important people alive at that time, how the youngest person interacted with people born in the late 1700's. I even made a small playlist of footage, sounds, and writings of people of the past: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiToEt9KMi4w7RFh3bw4ul1gd6xiqerGK

A bit of a fun(?) fact: the last person born in the 1800 passed away back in 2017. Can you imagine experiencing the major shift in history and technology that she experienced? Living in three different centuries and two different millenniums? Being alive before both world wars? before we learned how to fly in airplanes to reaching space? 

We also have footage of a person who was there in the theater when Lincoln was shot, a voice recording of a man born in 1857, and footage of Pope Leo XIII who was born in 1810. Which means he's likely interacted with people born in 1710's. Can you imagine him hearing stories of their life back then and them talking about the stories they've heard from the oldest people they've talked to? That's going back to early 1600's. It seems so long ago but there really isn't a whole lot a degree of separation between now and then if you think about the oldest person you interacted with and the oldest they've interacted with and so on (assuming the oldest is about 95-100) that's only four degrees of separation. With how much the world has changed in a single century it makes wonder how much things will change this century, in what way, and how people of the future will see us
