Ever wonder how things looked way back in the day? Take the Pyramids of Giza – they used to be covered in shiny white limestone, making them sparkle in the sun. The Statue of Liberty wasn't always green; she started out as a shiny copper color but turned green over time due to oxidation. And get this, early elevators were operated by hand-cranked mechanisms, nothing like the smooth rides we have today. Even remote controls were once clunky, wired devices before they became the sleek, wireless gadgets we can't live without. It's wild to think how much these things have changed over the years! #brightside Credit: CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/: Atanasoff-Berry Computer: Ik T from Kanagawa, Japan – https://flic.kr/p/NU4q8f, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Atanasoff-Berry_Computer_%E3%83%BC_Computer_History_Museum_%2830781535612%29.jpg ATANASOFF: Eye Steel Film from Canada, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ATANASOFF_Pic%5E1_-_Flickr_-_Eye_Steel_Film.jpg CC BY 2.5 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/: Teosinte: (Photo courtesy of John Doebley.), https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Teosinte.png Pyramidion di Ramose: Museo Egizio, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pyramidion_di_Ramose_PAP8838-HDR.tif Pyramidion, CC BY-SA 2.5 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pyramidion_from_the_tomb_of_Rer_(7th_century_BCE).jpg Ascensor Presidencial: Casa Rosada, CC BY 2.5 AR https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/ar/, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ascensor_Presidencial,_Casa_Rosada.jpg CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/: Télécommande: Romain Ramier, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:La_premi%C3%A8re_t%C3%A9l%C3%A9commande.jpg Teocinte Oax: Bernardo Bolaños, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Teocinte_Oax_5_agosto_2008_063.jpg Manop: Atanasoff-Berry Computer, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Atanasoff-Berry_Computer_at_Durhum_Center.jpg Atanasoff-Berry Computer, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Atanasoff-Berry_Computer.jpg CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/: Tamaño de la pirámide: Danielesmart, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tama%C3%B1o_de_la_pir%C3%A1mide_de_Hardjedef_en_comparacion_al_resto.jpg Egyptian Museum: Ovedc, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:By_ovedc_-_Egyptian_Museum_(Cairo)_-_178.jpg Atanasoff-Berry: ArnoldReinhold, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Atanasoff-Berry_add-subtract_module.agr.jpg SABA-corded-TV-remote-left: Gazebo, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:SABA-corded-TV-remote-left.jpg Zenith radio: Clyde94, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Zenith_radio_corporation_logo.jpg E.V.
