There were no 16 00:01:00,085 --> 00:01:03,005 Speaker 1: phones in nineteen twenty five. There were no TVs. Radio 17 00:01:03,525 --> 00:01:07,725 Speaker 1: was still starting and come through as an emergent technology. 18 00:01:07,765 --> 00:01:11,245 Speaker 1: Also born in nineteen twenty five, Paul Newman, Angela Lansbury, 19 00:01:11,325 --> 00:01:16,885 Speaker 1: Sammy Davis Junior, and Margaret Thatcher.

I reckon, she's got 140 00:07:49,605 --> 00:07:52,645 Speaker 1: sixty copies of newspapers. She must have gone through so many, 141 00:07:53,485 --> 00:07:57,965 Speaker 1: so many years where that someone's got a newspaper. Newspapers 142 00:07:57,965 --> 00:08:01,485 Speaker 1: would have looked very different from now. Imagine one from 143 00:08:01,565 --> 00:08:07,325 Speaker 1: nineteen twenty five, like two pages, so partuicicating. You thought 144 00:08:07,325 --> 00:08:10,485 Speaker 1: they were about nine to ten one hundred year olds 145 00:08:10,525 --> 00:08:12,645 Speaker 1: in the world. We found out it's nine hundred. It's 146 00:08:12,725 --> 00:08:16,325 Speaker 1: estimated at nine hundred and thirty five thousand. There are 147 00:08:16,445 --> 00:08:20,165 Speaker 1: six thousand, three hundred, one hundred year olds and above 148 00:08:20,364 --> 00:08:23,725 Speaker 1: in this country alone. A number, isn't it? 149 00:08:23,725 --> 00:08:27,925 Speaker 4: It has this we're living older now, which the science 150 00:08:27,925 --> 00:08:30,885 Speaker 4: of medicine, we're living old. It's six thousand and three 151 00:08:30,925 --> 00:08:35,405 Speaker 4: hundred just in Australia, the oldest Australian turned one hundred 152 00:08:35,445 --> 00:08:36,485 Speaker 4: and twelve two weeks ago. 153 00:08:36,645 --> 00:08:44,445 Speaker 1: Whoa and his name of course ken I am ken I. 154 00:08:44,684 --> 00:08:47,605 Speaker 1: They sung that too birthday one hundred and twelve on 155 00:08:47,645 --> 00:08:51,565 Speaker 1: October the fifth.

You know, there's only 165 00:09:30,485 --> 00:09:33,565 Speaker 1: so much technology can do. You know, maybe you could 166 00:09:33,564 --> 00:09:36,285 Speaker 1: trap some speakers to her head from sons or something 167 00:09:36,285 --> 00:09:38,885 Speaker 1: that's so she can hear a bit easier.
