1925-2025?
They graduated HS in ‘42 together, one skipped two grades. (Subtle brag….)
Technology, culture and society increased logarithmically faster for their period than did it for the earlier two time periods.
So I’m team 1925-2025 even though neither of them personally got to the 21st century.
I’ll bet my grandkids who’ve been born over the past seven years are gonna see some shite, good and bad.
Hopefully much more good than bad.

1890-1990
You went from Victorian Era to Modern Era, saw the Wright Brothers first flight and the moon landing, both World Wars, the rise and fall of the Soviet Union, collapse of the European empires, the entirety of the Civil Rights movement, and huge advancements in every facet of technology from medicine to cars to phones to radio and television and so much more. A LOT of shite happened in the 20th Century.

TV, the internet, the proliferation of radio, the introduction of youth culture, space exploration, satellites, America’s population explosion to 330 million, medical technology including breakthroughs in detecting and treating various diseases, the changing racial landscape of America through immigration, twenty-something year old billionaires, the sexual revolution.

My grandpa was born in 1927 and is still alive today. The stories he's told us about the things he's experienced has been extremely interesting. Growing up in Lower Dulac and just hearing about the way life was back then compared to now is incredible, especially in south Louisiana.

1925-2025 saw the most change without a doubt, but 1825-1925 saw the most remarkable change. Seeing wooden sailing ships replaced, first by steam and then by diesel power. Seeing cars on roads after a millennia of riding horses.

I came here to post this. Antebellum society to the onset of the atomic age is pretty wild.
That time entirely changed what humanity believed was possible. Even inventions that came later just seemed inevitable from what came out of 1845-1945. Like imagine not even knowing what caused disease for the first decades of your life to legitimate modern antibiotics. It must've been incredible- everything must've seemed like magic.
All I've gotten to see so far was social media and wifi

So much has changed in the last 100 years that it far surpasses the other 2 options.
Advancements in science, technology, medical procedures, medicines in general, etc. makes the previous 200 year span look archaic in comparison.
Not a lot changed from 1725 until the late 1800's

Unless there is massive famine, disease, plague etc that stunts humanity for a while, each successive century should be more transformative than the last.
I’m 37 and the world has changed immensely in that relatively short period of time.

Didn't think this would have multiple choice.
The correct answer is 1860 to 1960.
In the US, horse and buggy to space race. Incredible.

I dont see how anyone pre television couldve really seen anything.
They wouldve read about everything after the fact and only wondered what was going on most of the time.
The most dramatic is easily the 1925 - 2025 group. Not only were they born right in the midst of the technology innovation they actually got to see it play out in front of them for most of their lives once tv was introduced.
I think sometimes we got lost in thinking everyone was privy to all information and had the means to acquire said information but thats just not the case.

Do you even have to ask this question? There was more dramatic change from 1925 -2025 than 1725 - 1924

The next 100 years will be wild once we figure out nuclear fusion. I am confident that my kids grandkids will witness interstellar travel.

My Great Grandmother lived to 103. She was born in 1867 right after the Civil War and died in 1971. When she was a toddler her family was attacked by Indians in a wagon train. Before she died, she watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon on a TV set in an air conditioned room.
Think about that.

When I was a kid people played college football just for a scholarship. shite was wild. Also, NBA players played in every game just because it was their job and they liked it!
