The 1920s vs. The 2020s, A Walk Down Memory Lane To See How Much Things Have Changed

Think about the 1920s vs 2020s. The year 2020 is quickly approaching and we’re all preparing for a new year and decade. It will also mark 100 years since the 1920s began and so much has changed since then! From clothing to cars to simple, everyday items, some things we may not even recognize anymore. It’s nice to take a walk down memory lane and reminisce about these old-style items as they evolve when years progress.
