It’s always interesting to look back at our past and to think about how we have changed over the years. We might even compare what we remember from back then with what we have today, and we might just be surprised with what we learn.
That is what many people did when they came up with a then and now meme challenge. The information and pictures that people were sharing is nothing short of spectacular.
This is more than just an interesting look into the past for many people. It might just give you the inspiration you need to do something like this for yourself.
