most families went to work/school, came home and the mom got dinner ready while kids played and dad watched the news. in 38 it was similar but listened to radio instead.

you ate as a family, showered and gathered in the living room to either listen on the radio or watch 1 tv show

compared to now where everyone has a super computer in their pocket, instant access to people in every corner of the globe, instant access to all information, travel patterns are way different now etc

daily life has changed way more now. the way we work has changed way more, way we consumer knowledge, the way we travel, way we communicate, the leaisure activities etc.

+100 on the shared perspective.

In 1938 you can give your wife a little slap because she needed to be trained .
In 1980 she could beat you and you wouldn't hit back but you're still arrested.

The best athletes in the world that train for living can't do the things they could do in their 20s by 37-38 in most cases.
