The subreddit r/OldPhotosInRealLife is pretty much the closest thing we have to a time machine. Its 596k members are constantly comparing past and present through rephotography — the act of taking a photo of a place that has already been photographed before. The end result is like a portal, fusing together two different periods.

After we at Bored Panda published our first story on this online community, we've kept an eye on it and quickly realized that its earlier posts weren't a fluke. From overgrown Machu Picchu in 1915 compared to the site in 2020 to visitors in The Metropolitan Museum Of Art in 1910 and 2019, r/OldPhotosInRealLife consistently features interesting angles, presenting things in a different perspective to the one we're used to.

As I wrote in my previous piece, most of these photos portray not only the passage of time but human progress as well. City skylines keep expanding, people within them switch from horses to cars... But that's just the visuals. How do we actually calculate our advancement?

For this task, many use the Human Development Index (HDI). The HDI provides a single index measure to capture three key dimensions of our development: a long and healthy life, access to knowledge, and a decent standard of living.

The Human Development Index utilizes four key metrics:

  • life expectancy at birth – to assess a long and healthy life,
  • expected years of schooling – to assess access to knowledge for the young generation, 3) average years of schooling – to assess access to knowledge for the older generation, 4) gross national income (GNI) per capita – to assess the standard of living.

In 2019, the United Nations Development Programme used the HDI to find out which countries are the most developed. The first place went to Norway, Switzerland came in second, and Ireland was third. The US tied the UK for the 15th spot.

Naturally, the HDI -- just like most similar metrics -- has been criticized. Mostly, for the alleged lack of consideration of technological development or contributions to human civilization. But it remains one of the most used measures worldwide to calculate how advanced countries are. Until rephotography takes over!

To this day, the position of the wall is marked on the ground all the way from one end to the other. By the more noteworthy places there are information boards. If you ever go to Berlin and want to get a broader picture of the town, I recommend a Berlin Wall hike - take public transport to one end of the Berlin Wall (Memorial or East Side Gallery), then follow the line on the ground all the way to the other end. Takes you to all kinds of places, from famous landmarks to back alleys. It's a day trip, but if you don't mind walking and love to explore for the sake of exploring, it's really worth it.

It's easy to criticise the London Underground, e.g. why isn't it running 24 hours a day in this day and age? So it's worth being reminded just how old it is and what the expectations were when it was built. It doesn't have double tracks, so one can keep the service running while the other is being maintained at night, because no one in 1863 anticipated hoards of people wanting to travel around London at 3.30am

If that's Qualcomm Stadium as it says right there next to the US Bank sign, it used to be known as Jack Murphy Stadium or the Murph. Padres and Chargers used to play there , I believe. Then the Padres got a brand new stadium. Not long after the Chargers left San Diego. I don't know for sure but I think the fact they didn't get a new stadium too played a part. Don't yell at me if I'm wrong, I don't actually care about sports. And I don't live in San Diego anymore.

The really noticeable thing about the advancement of color photography isn’t necessarily the richness of the color—-the 1911 colors are beautiful—-but the sharpness of the image. In the 1911 photo, you can see the building, but not a lot of its details, almost like it’s in a haze. Those details absolutely pop in the 2015 photo. Even the individual clouds pop, in comparison.

Palm tree on the right got a lot higher and probably leans a lot now** (looks like the one on the left had to be replaced recently), as did the plants on the school property (except, again, those they have been replaced). **Weird optical illusion when you look down any palm-lined street in L.A., because the taller the palm trees, the more they lean, and lean uniformly to boot. Makes you think you’re the one who’s off-kilter.
