Thanks Widebody for posting the dates on various inventions. I knew air conditioning was in use early in the century.
My Dad (1903 - 1997) once told me "Anyone who talks about the Good Old Days, wasn't there." His dad died of pneumonia in 1912. Antibiotics didn't come along for almost three decades. A trip of 55 miles, in Jan. 1930, by horse and sleigh, took him from 6 AM to 9PM. Technological changes have been prolific during the last century, but people haven't changed that much.
