In my grandmother's lifetime she saw air travel develop and then space exploration develop. She saw radio then tv then color tv then computers.
She saw antibiotics develop, sterilizing of surgical tools, hospital regulations,
indoor plumbing, vaccinations where there were none. She wondered and marveled at the archaeological discoveries and finds.

She saw insulation, safe wiring, the model T, air conditioning.
She saw progress, growth, discovery (our past and our future).
She went to the city from the country and her daughter went to college.
She lived through several wars, all different in technical development.
She lived through assassinations and coups, global communications development, talk of global warming.
She lived through segregation and NOW and shared life with everyone in her safe nursing home.
She died of old age and at peace.

This was one lifetime. How many lifetimes are in 50,000 years?
