How to use "Century" in context?
One hundred years ago, the world was dramatically different than it is today. People lived in isolated villages and communities, where the way people thought and behaved was largely unchanged from generation to generation. Commerce was limited to small, hand-operated markets, and technology was very limited. There were no automobiles, radios, televisions, or airconditioning. In fact, it was not until the 1920s that widespread use of electricity began. The cost of living was very high, and average life expectancy was less than 50 years. People barely survived on subsistence agriculture and small domesticated animals.
