Every day it seems like time is moving faster and faster. It’s hard to believe that another year has passed because we have the feeling that only yesterday we celebrated the beginning of the new year. At the same time, our perception of time is subjective. Some will say that they had the longest week, while others will argue that the whole year, if not more, flew by in one day. The same with decades and even half a century. And to show you the course of history, we’ve put together some interesting snapshots from the past that show you something you might not have known about.
