    The voice control was an early use of digital concept with the presenter using short bursts of his voice as binary to represent 0’s and 1’s which in turn was translated into a command such as move, stop, backup etc. These concepts have around a lot longer than most modern people think, paving the way for the technology that we think just appeared today out of nowhere. The back breaking work of R&D was already done so we modern humans can claim that we did it all and that people in the past were so primitive. I’m blown away by the thoughtful and intelligent disposition of the technological industries of yesteryear.

      That had me wondering, what did they really have in the 30's 🔊🔊⚡⚡
      So that train was (Sound-Impules-Controled) ? 🚂🚂
      Not someone (Remote-Controlling) it ?

      Well Boeing has achieved the same, only 24 years younger. Considering man's first flight was 13 years before Boeing, and founded by one man, not five. (which among GE's founders was one of the richest men at the time, JP Morgan)

    The dress up era. All the men wore hats. And suits and ties. Shined shoes, pressed clothes.

    What an amazing insight into life then and now...I liked the sandwich press toaster which was so ahead of its time, and still being made by GE.

    The invisible light,making invisible visible reminds me of the movie "they live" their sunglasses in effect do the same as what's described here in 1933.

    [1:44] has a pretty weird orientation on those bas reliefs. World War 2 put an end to that b/s. Same with those "sun" buildings. Snuffed out, hard.

    Wish we still had those robot dinosaurs. Besides Jurassic Park I don't think a robot dino was made since 1933. There's a few theme parks but those are roller coaster rides.

      Question, why do people think the climate is not supposed to change? Look at the other planets in the solar system, their climates change also. Look at geography, and see what has created places like the Grand Canyon. Did you know the Arctic used to be tropical? The earth has been constantly changing for millions of years.
