By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/how-the-world-has-changed-in-100-years-before-and-after-photos1.htmlThe world is certainly changing, this is an undeniable truth. However, these very changes are difficult to notice if you are always in a hurry somewhere — to work, a meeting, to the store or home - and never stop. But if nothing happens during a sudden stop, there is a proven way. Try to remember a place from your childhood where you loved to visit, and go there. There you will see exactly how fast time flies.
In the meantime, using the example of "before and after" photos from different countries of the world, we will show how everything has changed over the whole century.
