Jimmy Carter will be 100 if he lives until at least October 1st. If he does, he’ll make history of being America’s first president to live a century. UPDATE: He made it to 100. Congratulations Jimmy!
It's just the way his face is built. He's one of the elite and he had quite a fantastic life. To his credit though, he did work with habitat for humanity@@TrollCapAmerica
Both of my folks were born in 1924 also but they both died in 2008. I miss them both also. They lived through so much in their lives - the Depression and World War II.
My mother was born in 1921. She passed two years ago at 101. He body kind of wore out, but not her mind or her memory. The same with her mother. Grandma passed at 103, sharp as a tack. I have a huge collection of photos from the 1880’s on. Before both died, I got the stories and the names, places behind the photos. It was a different world in many ways, but not totally alien to ours. I could go back to the 1920’s and live quite well.
@@catholiccrusader5328 I’m a 60 year old white woman who grew up playing the clarinet in school, concert band, symphony, marching band and a musical in high school. The musical was Hello Dolly! Satchmo was beyond amazing in his performances of that. As much as I love his trumpet playing, his awesome vocals are still unparalleled. It’s a funny thing, yesterday I decided to drop by the Goodwill to try to find a huge pot for fabric dyeing, and lo and behold, there was a beautiful student trumpet for sale for only twenty bucks!! Well, you know I snatched that right up! So little old me is going to try to learn to play. Funny coincidence considering my message to you! It’s wonderful to be proud of what our forebears accomplished, and you certainly have a right to be proud! 😀🎺
My paternal grandfather was born in 1897 and my paternal grandmother was born in 1905.They married in 1924 and in 1974 I remember their 50th wedding anniversary.I was born in 1963 and the house I bought was built in 1924.
Pretty cool! My Dad was born in 1918, the year of the pandemic and my Mom in 1920. They had me, their final baby and only girl in 1964. I never met my maternal grandparents because my grandfather was unalived by a hit and run driver on the Key Bridge in the D.C. area. It was believed at that time, 1923, that my grandmother either was driving the car who struck him or had someone else do it. He was only 27. Flashing forward to 1947, my eldest brother was born and he bore an uncanny resemblance to our grandfather. In 1974, he also died at age 27, by his own hand. I was ten at the time. Flash forward 27 years and on what would have been his birthday, the 9/11 attacks occurred. Life can get pretty bizarre sometimes. I feel very blessed to know and love our Savior Jesus Christ because times are getting darker and weirder all the time!!!
My grandmother is 101 and still drives and her brain usually works better than mine, her 33 year old granddaughter. Crazy how much the world has changed since she was born. The things she has lived though. Incredible.
Just stumbled upon your channel! FACINATING! My grandparents were not even born yet. Summer of 1925, still with me I am happy to say! Will subscribe now!! God bless you and everyone here 🙏, Joey in Cleveland
I've done research on this as I am interested in the subject of the future. Consider that right now we are going through the social media revolution. In the future, 100 years or more, 3 major things could very likely happen: Intelligent design becomes the basic principle of life rather than natural selection among humans. There comes the first non organic life in the form of robots or non robots, such as being made out of energy. Homo sapiens could be replaced by superhuman. A different type of human that is alien to us today but more advanced. If a human from modern day was integrated with superhuman, so many varieties of things could happen. We could get looked down upon, require much protection, or simply be discarded as waste that could contaminate the future of humans. Communication with intelligent extraterrestrial life.
Improve pronunciation and ordinal numbers are used for dates. Do you say “ Four July ” or “ Fourth of July”? Is Christmas “ twenty -five December “ or “ the twenty -fifth of December”?
I love history and metal detecting; so this vid is awesome. Find tons of things from this era; 1930-1940 stuff is waaaaay tough to find. Excellent job.
In 1924 my grandfather was 10 years old living in the mines of California. His father was a drinker and worked out of town leaving the family to fend for themselves. I have the .22 rifle he, my grandfather, paid for with working and saving he fed his entire family with the gun, I believe the cost was around $28.00
I was born in 1931. Many things in the 1920s carried over to the 1930s, except we were worse off financially and couldn’t afford what we could before. A lot like how people are struggling to afford things today.
5:09...The vintage footage mislabeled Harding as 28th president. (actually 29th). Seconds later, at 5:15...Coolidge was also incorrectly called our 29th president. But kudos to UA-camr "History of Life" for correctly stating Coolidge was actually our 30th president. Perhaps the vintage videographer only counted how many men served as president as of 1924. That would have been 29, but not taking into account that President Cleveland was both our 22nd (1885-1889) and 24th (1893-1897) presidents.
My Dad was born April 4th 1924. He served in WW2 as a medic on the frontlines. Unfortunately he was exposed to chemicals that caused him to die in 1977. Brain cancer. I was only 15. I still miss him.
So in 1924, we had radio, automobiles, airplanes, newspapers, washing machines, refrigerators , electricity, movies, indoor plumbing, ect… with the exception of television, air-conditioning, and widespread airline travel, life wasn’t that much different from post-war America until the social changes in the 60s.
It really started right after WW2. We entered the 50's and that's when things really began to change. Rock and Roll and the Beat culture were the first rebels that led to the hippies,etc.
@ Actually, I can make a fairly strong argument that American life in 1950 wasn’t much different than in 1980 from a technological perspective. Tv? It was color in 1980, but you still had just handful of channels. Radio- the same except FM was prevalent. Cars? Essentially unchanged - and arguably worse in the 70’s. Telephones? Identical. Shopping? Identical. Life processes, like school, getting a job, dating, marriage, all the same (more divorce). Movies? The same, except the hays code ended in ‘68. Smoking? The same. Homes? Air conditioning was widespread; no real changes. Computers? Almost nobody had one. The social changes were striking.
Its still only 2024. We are probably going to have a huge stock market boom because of AI-focused innovations in efficiency frontiers until 2029 and then history will repeat itself with a gigantic bust and depression.
It seems a little too glowing. No refridgerators, only ice boxes, no air conditioning or washing machines. Only 1% had indoor plumbing. Most roads outside of the cities were not paved. My grandfather said how thrilled he was to get a tractor, but that was in the 30's. I bet most farmers in the 20's were still using horse drawn equipment. Electricity use was ramping up but it wasn't common. My grandmother said a wood stove for cooking really sucked. Toilet paper may have been pages ripped out of a catalog. Lindbergh hadn't crossed the Atlantic yet, making airplanes still a bit of a novelty. Interesting footage but it makes sense that you are mostly going to get the upper crust.
I mean sure but in 2120 people will look back at this era and talk about UA-cam and SpaceX and everyone having fun watching Vtubers and playing Fortnite with talk about crippling poverty and an upcoming civil war just being a footnote in the background
A clip showed a marquee with Ginger Rogers & Dick Powell starring in a movie. These two actors began their film careers in the early 1930s. Cars shown in the shot were from the same period.
At one point, it said that people were buying more cars in 1924, and showed 2 men climbing onto what appeared to be a 1905ish curved-dash Olds. The who thing is filled with terrible journalism.
Yup, World War 2 and The Great Depression. It's better to live in 2024. You can just watching this video and then write a comment while lying down on the bed without wars around you!
I love f scott fitzgerald who influened the jazz age. I would have loved to live then. Some of the styles came back. My grandmother got married in 1927 and wore a very short silk dress and long pearls.love charlie chaplin. However prohibition was a mistake, thats when crime and mafias started.
@@HistoryOfLife123 Your upload was junk! Nothing about 1924 construction, most wanted criminals, most popular food recipies, best movies in theaters, newest science discoveries? You can do better!
The world of tunnel design and construction lost a great innovator, Clifford M. Holland, who was involved in the Hudson River motor vehicle tunnel building. This was the first mechanically ventilated passageway making it safe to drive without fear of carbon monoxide poisonings. It would be known as the Hudson motor vehicle tunnel. Holland died unexpectedly on October 27, 1924. The construction continued until its completion in 1927. It would be renamed the Holland Tunnel, in memorial to Clifford.
Both my parents were born in 1924. Which meant going through the great depression as teenagers, then WWII in the first half of the 1940s......Strength through adversity. We Baby Boomers experienced a much more comfortable adolescence and teenage years.(I won't say we were "spoiled"..... Just lucky.....Thanks. .....😎😎😎
One of the biggest mistakes I made was not asking my grandparents what it was like to live then. Huge mistake!!! 😢 They were young with young children in 1924.
Awww, we feel you on that. I'm sure your grandparents would have shared a wealth of information about their lives in 1924. Nonetheless, thank you for stopping by our channel. Hope to hear from you again, Yvonne! 😄
I never asked old guys about those things either, now I am close to 74 and no one asks me about the "old days." There was once though, I mentioned to a kid that I had worked on the f-4 and he was really interested.
I would love to watch your video, but I cannot handle "The Valley Girl / "Vocal Fry" narrative voice of this young lady narrator; it sounds like a person who is still in eighth grade talking to friends at Nutrition Break about a time long ago.
80-90% of t he population lived in small towns and farms and had limited exposure to the trends, and tech advances would mostly not reach them for another decade. In fact, anything requiring electricity would not appear in many of these areas until the Rural Electrification Act under FDR.
My grandmother moved to Elmira, NY in '24 when she was 17. I'm fascinated by what life was like for her....as by what Elmira was like then. Unfortunately life in Elmira, like Elmira itself, has not improved...which I witnessed in my own lifetime; ever since the Flood of '72 which, oddly enough, was the year I turned 17!
The Immigration Act of 1924 introduced restrictive quotas that limited immigration from certain regions, while the Indian Citizenship Act granted Native Americans citizenship. These laws highlight a historical moment of tension between inclusion and exclusion in U.S. immigration policy.
@@warrenlewis3977 There were four belligerent countries, a Caribbean theater and a Pacific theater in the Spanish American War. How do you define global scale? We had to get our Navy to the other side of the planet and then attack the enemy.
Crazy that we live in a time when almost nobody actually remembers this decade. Some of the oldest people alive were born in this decade and were just small children while most of this was going on. Also the people that lived in the Midwest, the south, Texas, and the west would have had a completely different life than the ones of the people focused on in this video. They were focused on people that lived in new york. These were the wealthiest people on America at the time. Not everyone lived like that. It's almost certain that your own great or great great grandparents didn't (my great grandparents were born from 1899 to about 1910, so they'd have either been teenagers or adults during the 20s). I know my great grandfather was a musician that played with some famous musicians during his time, but he was mostly just a salesman that went door to door selling whatever he could. He certainly wasn't wealthy. He was mugged coming out of a casino in Las vegas in 1987, 2 months after I was born for 50 bucks. He died a week later of his injuries.
It's when I had my great-grandparents alive. I was born in 1992. I don't care about fashion; I just enjoy history. But then nudism wasn't really brought to the United States until 1929. America, by the way, is a continent, not a country. Part of the first modern decade, as the TV was invented and more advanced medicine came for the first time as well.
It's not like 100 years ago is, 'that far removed'. A century isn't really that long of a time. All young people will soon find this out. Because the average lifespan in the West is about 80 years, 100 years seems like a long time, but really, it's not.
I normally wouldn't mention it but since you are so obviously attempting to "mimic Mary Hart".... we can still hear your accent. That is why you're using the fake voice right? To hide your accent? Yeah it's still there. We can totally hear it.

The best thing about 1924 was that AI-generated content was still a century away in the future.
The term Artificial Intelligence was coined in 1956. Its been around longer than most people in the world have been alive.
😮😮😅😂
Amen! This video drove me up the wall.
A lot has changed since 1924, but just think how much more has changed, from 1824 to 1924!
Absolutely right! Railways, steamboats, telegraph, telephone, electricity, motor cars, aeroplanes, silent pictures, radio, domestic appliances...all invented from about 1824 to 1924!
Interesting 🧐
Emancipation proclamation

Thanks for the excellent video. Hi from Wyoming.
Seems odd to put the clip in about the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor in this particular video since that didn't happen until 1941.
I agree but I think their point was how much of an influence radio was.

Awww, we feel you on that. I'm sure your grandparents would have shared a wealth of information about their lives in 1924. Nonetheless, thank you for stopping by our channel. Hope to hear from you again, Yvonne! 😄
Sadly I admit it too....
I never asked old guys about those things either, now I am close to 74 and no one asks me about the "old days." There was once though, I mentioned to a kid that I had worked on the f-4 and he was really interested.
I am 54, and had grandparents and great-grandparents who told me about life back then. Rather different from this video.
They would say it was hard!!
New sub here 😄.
I would love to watch your video, but I cannot handle "The Valley Girl / "Vocal Fry" narrative voice of this young lady narrator; it sounds like a person who is still in eighth grade talking to friends at Nutrition Break about a time long ago.
TOO MUCH 1940s film footage when 1920s footage is available as public domain now.
80-90% of t he population lived in small towns and farms and had limited exposure to the trends, and tech advances would mostly not reach them for another decade. In fact, anything requiring electricity would not appear in many of these areas until the Rural Electrification Act under FDR.
The environment may be different, but mans wicked heart without God was still the same!
*GodLess Demons are ALWAYS CoWards, such as Jack RiPPer Smith!!!!*
Interesting. However, if you have that era in Paris, you would have my full attention.
I knew Dum Dum lollipops have been around a long time, but I never knew they were a century old.
My grampa smoked weed.
Good on him, he rocked and rolled I bet!
My grandmother moved to Elmira, NY in '24 when she was 17. I'm fascinated by what life was like for her....as by what Elmira was like then. Unfortunately life in Elmira, like Elmira itself, has not improved...which I witnessed in my own lifetime; ever since the Flood of '72 which, oddly enough, was the year I turned 17!
No, Errol Flynn's "The Sea Hawk" was not a 1924 film.
Pearl Harbor attack by Japan did not Happen in 1924.... It happened December 7th 1941
The Immigration Act of 1924 introduced restrictive quotas that limited immigration from certain regions, while the Indian Citizenship Act granted Native Americans citizenship. These laws highlight a historical moment of tension between inclusion and exclusion in U.S. immigration policy.
Pres. Jimmy Carter RIP 😔🙏🏽
"World War I, the first global scale battle America had ever participated in."
Revolutionary War and Spanish American War, on line 2.
Neither of those was global.
The Revolutionary war was not global.
Neither was the Spanish American war...c'mon man.
@@warrenlewis3977 There were four belligerent countries, a Caribbean theater and a Pacific theater in the Spanish American War. How do you define global scale? We had to get our Navy to the other side of the planet and then attack the enemy.
Crazy that we live in a time when almost nobody actually remembers this decade. Some of the oldest people alive were born in this decade and were just small children while most of this was going on. Also the people that lived in the Midwest, the south, Texas, and the west would have had a completely different life than the ones of the people focused on in this video. They were focused on people that lived in new york. These were the wealthiest people on America at the time. Not everyone lived like that. It's almost certain that your own great or great great grandparents didn't (my great grandparents were born from 1899 to about 1910, so they'd have either been teenagers or adults during the 20s). I know my great grandfather was a musician that played with some famous musicians during his time, but he was mostly just a salesman that went door to door selling whatever he could. He certainly wasn't wealthy. He was mugged coming out of a casino in Las vegas in 1987, 2 months after I was born for 50 bucks. He died a week later of his injuries.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIMMY CARTER Former President MADE IT TO 100 , when you eat a peanut think of jimmy carter
There was no trans back then. Les
There was but they kept it to themselves. They knew to keep it quiet.
@@mark-xx1lt No, it was the fact that the population wasn't ready to accept that, much less LBGTQ people! And you're STILL a long way from it!
For European Americans!!.💪🏽😤
Sorry I lasted 5 minutes. That voice.
"That voice" turned me off too!
My Grandma was born August 1924😊
Reference Sea Hawk- The clip is of the Errol Flynn film of 1940 not the 1924 film.
There really should be a ban on AI narration
What about the cost of living then? Housing, food, gas ect.
Ect? You mean et cetera, etc?
@dma124 yes
My grandpa was born in 1923, he passed away in 2010 at 87, such a long life.
My grandmother was a flapper!
At least adults dressed like grownups. How did they manage without air conditioning?
South Florida did not begin mass development until AC was invented. The inventor is honored in Statuary Hall in D.C. representing Florida.
By grown up you mean boring
It was roaring until the market crashed
She says native Americans can vote on their own land like she has no idea those lands weren’t lost during actual wars where people on both sides died
2:12 Jackie Coogan (Uncle Fester).
That jazz was referred to “jungle music”, even on broadcasts, says lots about racism in 1924. Armstrong’s costuming in this video says it all.
Don't care
I ,would be happily married without Cell phones or television.
How about rushel m Nelsen
??
No welfare payments which means people had to find a job and not sit around and smoke crack
Wow 100 years 😢😢😢
It's when I had my great-grandparents alive. I was born in 1992. I don't care about fashion; I just enjoy history. But then nudism wasn't really brought to the United States until 1929. America, by the way, is a continent, not a country. Part of the first modern decade, as the TV was invented and more advanced medicine came for the first time as well.
Women from this era turn my crank!
RIP John Marsten
*So the Horse had Disappeared by 1924!!!!*
*For Decades I had Wondered, When did the Horse Disappear???*
My dad was born in 1924 and was in the CBI in WW2.
It's not like 100 years ago is, 'that far removed'. A century isn't really that long of a time. All young people will soon find this out. Because the average lifespan in the West is about 80 years, 100 years seems like a long time, but really, it's not.
I normally wouldn't mention it but since you are so obviously attempting to "mimic Mary Hart".... we can still hear your accent.
That is why you're using the fake voice right?
To hide your accent?
Yeah it's still there.
We can totally hear it.
The whole thing is AI, full of errors.
