What was life like 100 years ago?
The average life expectancy was 47 years old.
Only 14 percent of the homes had a bathtub.
Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone.
The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph.
The average wage in 1906 was 22 cents per Hour.
Sugar cost for cents a pound.
eggs were fourteen cents a dozen.
Coffee was fifteen cents a pound.
canned beer and ice tea hadn't been invented yet.
Two out of every 19 adults couldn't read or write.
There was no micro wave.
Try to imagine what life may be like in another 100 years (if we even have a world)
