thats actually pretty cool. I wonder what was going through peoples minds back then in 1899... "one more year and its a new century, I wonder what it will bring?"
versus now... "damn, I dont have internet connection? I have to be the first person to post 'Happy New Year' on my facebook page"

Library of Congress website has Edison videos older then that for free. Also streaming ;)
My favorite is the kid dancing. He's got the moves all the way back in the 1800sComment
