It's fascinating to see how a comic from 1912 still holds up today. Also I didn't know they had 'colored moving pictures' that early, I always thought Wizard of Oz was the first one in 1939. Turns out 1908 was the year the first color film came out. Neat!

I used to lament how my nieces and nephew would never be able to appreciate the modern internet because they grew up with broadband. Now I don't think about it cause the idea itself has got old.

That said, I like this comic and saved a copy because it's a historical artifact. I love history. Thanks for posting.

Don't worry. If the recently discovered superconductors at room temperature lk-99 is real they'll be visiting mars.

It's funny, we basically have magic now

I can talk to anyone, miles away instantly, anywhere on earth. It's mental. But it's totally normal for us to make phone calls.

My wife and I were just mentioning the other day how we can have video chats with family half way around the world, for free. When we were kids making a long distance call to someone a few counties away was a big deal and we didn’t talk long because it would cost too much. Wild stuff.

Kind of fascinated by the subtle linguistic differences in this comic. Mainly saying "See the..." instead of "Look at that..."
