A person born in 1861 who lived 100 years saw these changes:
Alberta became part of Canada when she was 6 years old.
It got its first train when she was in her 20s,
electric lights when she was in her 30s,
became a province and got its first car and plane when she was in her 40s.
She was in her 60s when Alberta got its first radio station (1927).
She was 70 when the first vinyl music records were invented (1931).
She was in her 90s when Edmonton got its first television station (1954).
The Beatles were formed when she was 99.
Her life spanned the period from the sound of the tom-tom to the sound of electric guitars.
