Born in April, 1926, it's crazy how much the world has changed in her lifetime. May she rest in peace.

Arguably the largest change in humanity in a ~100 year span? Especially if we go back to 1922. Mass communication, mass travel, etc. were all non existent.

Like the first radio stations had just started broadcasting when she was born, now we're all discussing her passing on a communications network that connects the entire globe. Possibly some of us while on flights from one side of the world to the other.

A timespan anecdote I like: Bertrand Russell watched man land on the moon on tv. He also had his grandfather tell him about meeting with Napoleon.
