In the video various films have taken in 1900-1901 displaying some of the grittier nature of work in those days. As you can see, source quality is really important to make a decent upscale video.

      It is an interesting thing to think about. If you were born in 1995 then the oldest person alive at that time would've been Jeanne Louise Calment who was born in 1875 (who would've been alive during the recording of this film). If you live for 81 years then you'll pass away in 2076. Now imagine someone born in 2075 and will live for 125 years (which may be likely as medical science improves) then that person will pass away in 2200.
      So in your lifetime, there will people living in both 1875 and 2200 which directly connects you to 325 years of history despite only being alive for 81 years.
      This one person's lifetime contains people that experienced the Victorian lifestyle and people that will go on to experience an unfathomable futuristic world.

Writing letters, reading newspapers and just being out in nature, reading a book. However, imagine catching smallpox, the flu, or needing penicillin. Even with classism, it was still prominent in those times. I guess it's all relative to the times. Learning to appreciate life as it is right now.

    See that kid flicking the V's at 4:23? That's the first ever documented incident of someone using that hand gesture. I read it on Wikipedia!
    "The first unambiguous evidence of the use of the insulting V sign in the United Kingdom dates to 1901, when a worker outside Parkgate ironworks in Rotherham used the gesture (captured on the film) to indicate that he did not like being filmed."
    (The idea that bowman in the middle ages flicked the V at their enemies to prove that they can still fire arrows is apocryphal.)
