These cool photos, compiled by the helpful folk here at Bored Panda, gives the wonderful gift of perspective by doing precisely that. Side-By-Side comparisons of everything from astonishing pictures of before and after in the autumn time to technological advances in street lighting and size comparisons of unexpected things make for a fascinatingly fresh look at things you may have taken for granted. Scroll down below to check these interesting things out for yourself, and gain a newfound appreciation for the changes (or lack thereof) in our everyday lives!

My 4th grade teacher: "you need to learn how to do this without a calculator, you won't walk around with a calculator in your pocket all the time!"
Load More Replies...Same here. I absolutely love my wrist watch, and I definitely don't like the "short and quick" type of messaging smart phones are about... I like to write long messages and receive long messages, not ones that were written in a panic while waiting for the red traffic light to turn green.
Load More Replies...Not really. I don't use iPhone, and still, prefer my laptop to read and DSLR to take pictures.
This isn't about what 100% of people do, it's about what a phone can do today.
Load More Replies...Every thing pictured here has pissed me off at one time or another.
The phone doesn't spit out photos like a Polaroid yet though.. Does it?
I've seen a small printer advertised that connects to your phone so you can print out images right away. Not quite the same as a Polaroid Camera but fairly close!
Load More Replies...Not so much if you are into music as i carry an mp3 player and into photography and carry a DSLR and lenses, a laptop for stuff related to those two and a wristwatch because i like watches.
I miss my old camera, I miss my cam corder and I miss my Walkman. and I miss cassettes!
PDA-Personal Digital Assistant. Basically a glorified electronic notepad. “To have the functions expected of a PDA, a device's software typically includes an appointment calendar, a to-do list, an address book for contacts, a calculator, and some sort of memo (or "note") program.” -Wikipedia
Load More Replies...I was talking about buying a smartphone instead of reparing my almost-dead Nikon d60 with my fam today. Now it seems really resonable
Samsung has a "pro" camera mode app that lets you manually adjust ISO, shutter speed and exposure levels. I can get some impressive photos out of my Samsung Galaxy S8. Read this Bored Panda article written by a professional photographer (definitely not me!) who reviewed a Samsung smartphone camera. https://www.boredpanda.com/i-took-these-pictures-with-a-smartphone-and-the-result-is-just-incredible/

If you have any doubt that birds aren't related to dinos, just spend some time watching turkeys---the bronze kind, not the genetically engineered white ones. My pet turkeys come running when I call, and when they run to me they look like raptors from JURASSIC PARK !

The Difference In Lighting Between My Sister’s Room Vs. My Room At The Exact Same Time Of Day
the room on the left has a light on inside though, you can tell by the shadow of the ceiling light. Either that or it has a second window.
A LOT of those made my eyebrows go up. Very interesting gallery!
BP you have lied to me! by hooking me with "50 Curious Comparisons" when in reality there were 90.. :) Fantastic pictures though!
Very Interesting, Some seem almost impossible yet I believe they are all true David Collins
It is always a pleasant surprise to see all these comparisons. If they did not exist, I would probably be living in another dimension, into a galaxy very far away.
