Suppose instead your great grandfather had an iPhone back then and you now had access to his library of 10s of thousands of food pics and random selfies in bars, on vacation, etc. Would you still be as excited?
Hell, I wish I had home movies of myself with my parents as a toddler/child that included audio. All our home movies were on soundless 8mm film.
Might be cultural or even a me thing though, I grew up with a grand-aunt that loved talking about how they survived the winter every year.
Then I would look at the metadata to see what geolocations and dates reveal hai vacation patterns.
Finally, I’d just randomly browse through to see what he was up to.
I wouldn’t do it all the time, but I’d definitely spend a few hours over the course of my life looking through them.
I’d love to see what random life was like from 1910-1950.
Sounds super cool for them, of course, we have been born to early for this, so from our perspective we still shouldn't give a dam. As probably we won't be ghost behind checking how they enjoy that portal to the past.
