RE: There are no longer humans born in the 19th century
Centuries use ordinal numbering so the 19th century was from 1801 to 1900 inclusive. So someone born in 1900 was born in the 19th century. Yes, I may be a bit anal retentive.
My grandfather was born in 1901. He told me once how he was amazed that the Wright brothers flew and we went to the moon during his lifetime.
You're right about that. I guess what I meant was 1800s. That is pretty amazing, indeed. But even more amazing would be those who witness the Singularity. Could be many of us alive today.
