How life has changed!
While this year we began a new millennium (1,000 years), we should pause to realize
how life has changed in just the last one hundred years. Do you realize that 100 years ago
there were only 144 miles of paved roads in the United States? Life expectancy in the
United States was 47 years; only 14% of homes had a bathtub; only 8% of homes had a
telephone; the average wage was 22 cents an hour, the average worker made $220-400 per
vear: 95% of births were in the home; 90% of physicians had no college education; and
television, cell phones, microwave ovens and Krystal burgers weren’t even thought of!
