Crazy to think that roughly 24 short years later, some of the youngest children in these videos would have departed for the front lines of WWI, by the time WWII rolled around the children here would nearly be middle aged, most of the adults in the video had probably passed away by that time. These people had no idea that they were within touching distance of global destruction and conversely, unimaginable technological advancement. They had no idea that this video would be watched 130 years later by people all over the world. So many lives and experiences: each face with its own story, love, heartbreak, fear, pride. What a treasure this video is.

[@chibiromano5631]

You're comment should be #1. Not these npc comments from bots saying 'wow technology'. It's true 1890 was the begining of the shift to our modern world . Many changes to the world order were happening at this time. #1. For one languages and dialects were dying at an alarming rate. England and Germany were the first to start standardization of national languages. In London many spoke Cockney English, by 1980 RP English(The Queens English) had become main dialect of all English in Britian. Mexico , 82% of the population still spoke Native American languages at this time, by around 1940 w/ stndardization and mandatory public education and SPanish being mandatory the native langauges of all mexicans dropped to about 10% by 1980 and a foreign colonial langauge like Spanish became spoken by 90% of population. Within 100 years it took , you see something similar right now with China and Mandarin , Singapore and South China are losing their dialects to standardazition. I think 100 years from now we may be speaking Esperanto. Point 2. Yes, many of these kids would go on to grow up in the Great Depression, Civil Wars and WW1 and fought in them. The Balkan Wars, the Spanish civil war, the Mexican civil war, Russian overthrow of royals, Creation of a unified Germany < would be like if Germany, Tyrol and Austria all united right now > , the fall of the Ottomon Empire < would be if France collapsed today > . Point 3, The kids in this video raise the GI generation , the same GI generation that caused the Boomer generation to go into self destruct rebellion mode. You see, many Boomers said they vowed to never treat their children the same way that their parents had done to them.. This was because Boomers parents were giving a55 beating to near death by a psychologically tramatized genreation that raised them.. the little kids here that went through a world shift.

[@MinesAGuinness]

@@chibiromano5631 I would agree with the broad point of your first argument, Galen. I would qualify it slightly, in that the homogenisation of dialect and accent in England you speak of was not as uniform as you might think and was and is subject to class, occupation and travel from place of origin. During the 1890s, there were certain changes occurring as people migrated to the cities, but for the most part people simply did not have the opportunity to be exposed to other accents and dialects in the frequency that would have caused significant changes. It would be the arrival of mass media - for most after the arrival of widespread television viewing from the late 50s - that would cause the effect that you perceive today - and in some cases that effect took a much longer time to influence than you'd expect. I live in a city in the South East of England, and still very much spoke with a local accent and elements of dialect well into the 1980s. It wasn't the traditional RP of the upper classes (more of a Home Counties dialect) but the estuary English of East London that subsequently had the most impact on how I and younger people in my area speak differently today. That change is accelerating even more rapidly today with the ready dissemination of new slangs and accents - not from RP but from 'street' styles of speech that young people want to emulate to sound cool, even though they have little to no real exposure to those accents in their real life. At the same time, I retain the ability to speak in my local accent, and to adopt a 'Standard English' accent in professional roles where required. I've no doubt that young people will be capable of doing something similar and being able to segue from one accent to another depending upon the situation. My grandmother was a speaker of Esperanto, which she believed was a language through which nations could unite after the horrors of the world wars. I would predict instead that we will see a continuation of words and phrases migrating from one language to another, accelerated by their proliferation across the internet. However, vocabulary from tonal languages that are harder to master such as Chinese will find this exchange more difficult than words arriving from simpler languages such as Spanish, Bangla, Japanese and English.

[@johnbuffaloiam9741]

[@MinesAGuinness]

@@johnbuffaloiam9741 Yes, it's disturbing how the establishment continue to promote 'Standard English' through how we now teach in the National Curriculum, as if it is the 'proper' grammar and pronunciation rather than an affectation they prefer, John. Cockney's a fine accent with an ancient pedigree of course, stretching back to East Saxon dialect of Old English.

For the film to survive ctastrophes and wars, the change of centuries and even millenia and for someone to go trough the process of digitalising and colorising this footage, dozens of years after those who first filmed it have passed and after most of the people on the film have passed, for this to end up on the internet which in itself is an invention none of these people could have dreamed about and for us to view it....

My grandma was a nurse and when she told me when she worked at a nursing home when she was my age (20) she would help old ladies put their corsets on in the morning. She was taking care of the people in this video in the 50s. This time is so far away but also not that far away at the same time. I loved this footage!

This is sincerely one of the most incredible and enjoyable videos I've ever watched. It feels like a privilege to be able to see something like this.

It definitely is a privilege. KZbin is as close to a time machine that we have. This is incredible. I know they’re just humans but this was basically a different world. I don’t know. I just don’t know how to properly put into words why I enjoy this stuff so much.

[@firstthings_first9828]

@@thesnorman5666I too love this stuff very deeply. I’ll look at old or vintage pictures of random strangers and feel connected to it. Maybe it’s the realization of my own mortality and one day, I’m going to be looked at the same way. Or maybe I long to see that life, and experience a time period foreign to me. Or maybe it’s something else. But it makes me emotional whatever it may be.

"They appear to be people just like us but they dress so strangely," said the man from 1890 looking into the 21st Century.

Probably they would think girls dress like whores and boys like idiots

Our friend from 1890 might also say, "Where are the horses? How do these people function without horses?"

@@konodioda1268 Right the first concept of a camera came from china, and early iterations were seen in the middle east, but the permanent cameras of any modern utilization were invented by the Europeans. Just like airplanes. Plenty of cultures all across the world have been thinking of ways to fly, but airplanes and flying inventions of modern utility, came from the Europeans. It's no surprise, as Europe was so technologically ahead, but obviously they couldn't have done it without the brilliance of people all across the world, throughout history.
