Looking back at our years,

[Tsiyu]

1. People are always interested in socio-economic strata

"If I were a regular Josie in 2013, what would my life have been like?"

I guess if that's your question, you would be interested in the main industries of the time, in the levels of income among classes, in the minimum wage, in the sorts of jobs people did and the fashions they wore. What were their budgets like? How did they decorate? What were their forms of energy and transportation and medicine?

How did they court, mate, deliver kids, raise kids and educate kids? What rites of passage did they carry out?

So many things people like to know about when in museums have very little to do with key people or events, but concern those mundane daily activities.

I think ACA will be remembered as an historic change in the US health care system, and I think Obama's historic election and re-election will be defining events when we are viewed from the future.
