Guest guest Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 In 1937, the world was a different place. There was no Google yet. Or Yahoo. Or Us.mg5.mail.yahoo, for that matter. In 1937, the year of your birth, the top selling movie was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. People buying the popcorn in the cinema lobby had glazing eyes when looking at the poster. Remember, that was before there were DVDs. Heck, even before there was VHS. People were indeed watching movies in the cinema, and not downloading them online. Imagine the packed seats, the laughter, the excitement, the novelty. And mostly all of that without 3D computer effects. In the year 1937, the time when you arrived on this planet, books were still popularly read on paper, not on digital devices. Trees were felled to get the word out. The number one US bestseller of the time was Gone with the Wind by Margaret . Oh, that's many years ago. Have you read that book? Have you heard of it? In 1937... Anastasio Somoza GarcÃa becomes President of Nicaragua. In Moscow, 17 leading Communists go on trial, accused of participating in a plot led by Leon Trotsky to overthrow ph Stalin's regime and assassinate its leaders. The Ohio River floods. The first successful flying car, Waldo Waterman's Aerobile, makes its initial flight. The League of Nations Non-Intervention Committee bans foreign nationals from fighting in the Spanish Civil War. The animated short Porky's Duck Hunt, directed by Tex Avery for the Looney Tunes series, featuring the debut of Daffy Duck, is released. The Gestapo arrests priest Niemöller. That was the world you were born into. Since then, you and others have changed it. The Nobel prize for Literature that year went to du Gard. The Nobel Peace prize went to The Viscount Cecil of Chelwood. The Nobel prize for physics went to Clinton ph son and Paget Thomson from the United States for their experimental discovery of the diffraction of electrons by crystals. The sensation this created was big. But it didn't stop the planets from spinning, on and on, year by year. Years in which you would grow bigger, older, smarter, and, if you were lucky, sometimes wiser. Years in which you also lost some things. Possessions got misplaced. Memories faded. Friends parted ways. The best friends, you tried to hold on. This is what counts in life, isn't it? The 1930s were indeed a special decade. The Dirty Thirties. There was a Great Depression with traumatic effects worldwide. In Germany, the Nazi's Third Reich rose, ultimately leading to World War II. Intercontinental aviation and radio began. The German airship Hindenburg explodes in the sky above Lakehurst, New Jersey. Gandhi's peaceful resistance movement against the British colonial rule in India gains worldwide attention. Radar is invented, and so is Kodachrome. Do you remember the movie that was all the rage when you were 15? Monkey Business. Do you still remember the songs playing on the radio when you were 15? Maybe it was Wheel of Fortune by Kay Starr. Were you in love? Who were you in love with, do you remember? There's a kid outside, shouting, playing. It doesn't care about time. It doesn't know about time. It shouts and it plays and thinks time is forever. You were once that kid. When you were 9, the movie It's a Wonderful Life was playing. Progress, year after year. Do you wonder where the world is heading towards? The technology available today would have blown your mind in 1937. Do you know what was invented in the year you were born? The Turboprop Engine. The Jet Engine. The O-ring.

That's from the song 1937 Pre-War Kimball by Nanci Griffith. In 1937, a new character entered the world of comic books: Daffy Duck. Bang! Boom! But that's just fiction, right? In the real world, in 1937, Colin was born. And Redford. Jane Fonda, too. And you, of course. Everyone an individual. Everyone special. Everyone taking a different path through life. It's 2011.

There was no Google yet. Or Yahoo. Or Us.mg5.mail.yahoo, for that matter. In 1937, the year of your birth, the top selling movie was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. People buying the popcorn in the cinema lobby had glazing eyes when looking at the poster. Remember, that was before there were DVDs. Heck, even before there was VHS. People were indeed watching movies in the cinema, and not downloading them online. Imagine the packed seats, the laughter, the excitement, the novelty. And mostly all of that without 3D computer effects. In the year 1937, the time when you arrived on this planet, books were still popularly read on paper, not on digital devices. Trees were felled to get the word out. The number one US bestseller of the time was Gone with the Wind by Margaret . Oh, that's many years ago. Have you read that book? Have you heard of it? In 1937... Anastasio Somoza GarcÃa becomes President of Nicaragua. In Moscow, 17 leading Communists go on trial, accused of participating in a plot led by Leon Trotsky to overthrow ph Stalin's regime and assassinate its leaders. The Ohio River floods. The first successful flying car, Waldo Waterman's Aerobile, makes its initial flight. The League of Nations Non-Intervention Committee bans foreign nationals from fighting in the Spanish Civil War. The animated short Porky's Duck Hunt, directed by Tex Avery for the Looney Tunes series, featuring the debut of Daffy Duck, is released. The Gestapo arrests priest Niemöller. That was the world you were born into. Since then, you and others have changed it. The Nobel prize for Literature that year went to du Gard. The Nobel Peace prize went to The Viscount Cecil of Chelwood. The Nobel prize for physics went to Clinton ph son and Paget Thomson from the United States for their experimental discovery of the diffraction of electrons by crystals. The sensation this created was big. But it didn't stop the planets from spinning, on and on, year by year. Years in which you would grow bigger, older, smarter, and, if you were lucky, sometimes wiser. Years in which you also lost some things. Possessions got misplaced. Memories faded. Friends parted ways. The best friends, you tried to hold on. This is what counts in life, isn't it? The 1930s were indeed a special decade. The Dirty Thirties. There was a Great Depression with traumatic effects worldwide. In Germany, the Nazi's Third Reich rose, ultimately leading to World War II. Intercontinental aviation and radio began. The German airship Hindenburg explodes in the sky above Lakehurst, New Jersey. Gandhi's peaceful resistance movement against the British colonial rule in India gains worldwide attention. Radar is invented, and so is Kodachrome. Do you remember the movie that was all the rage when you were 15? Monkey Business. Do you still remember the songs playing on the radio when you were 15? Maybe it was Wheel of Fortune by Kay Starr. Were you in love? Who were you in love with, do you remember? There's a kid outside, shouting, playing. It doesn't care about time. It doesn't know about time. It shouts and it plays and thinks time is forever. You were once that kid. When you were 9, the movie It's a Wonderful Life was playing. Progress, year after year. Do you wonder where the world is heading towards? The technology available today would have blown your mind in 1937. Do you know what was invented in the year you were born? The Turboprop Engine. The Jet Engine. The O-ring.
