Question

What did people do 100 years ago?

Answer 1

Answer:

Well, first of all, they were very busy! My grandmother was 11 in 1916, and she told me once that even though they had a maid they were constantly doing stuff -- cooking from scratch, sewing, putting up preserves. Automobiles were just becoming known, so many would have had horses to watch out for -- and many more people still worked on the farm. Hours in industrial employment were long, and the work week was six days rather than five.

Answer 2

Answer:

People had hobbies like they do today, and hunted and fished, and went boating. Kids swam and ice skated -- there was much more open country in those days -- and played baseball and other games, like they do today. And if families were well off, traveled by train and steamship and saw the sights, much as we fly today.
