Present implies something recognizable today +/- 50 years. Fifty
years ago we were still four years away from landing on the Moon,
computers were still in their infancy, black Americans gain the right to
vote, and St. Louis Arch is completed in Missouri.
In the fifty years before that, steam power was giving rise to internal combustion, The Wright Bros became the inventors of powered flight, and television broadcasting brought news instantly to all.
