Life in the early 1900s, at the dawn of the 20th century, as one can imagine, was a lot more simpler than life is today, despite not having any of today's modern technology.
There was no television, radio was only in its experimental stages, motion pictures were still in its infancy, there were no computers, no Internet, no Facebook or MySpace, no MTV, no airplanes, telephones were in existence then, but very few people owned them, and there certainly were no cellphones. The automobile, or as it was called then, the "Horseless Carriage", was a rare privilege, it was only something for the rich, being referred to as a "rich man's toy". In fact, much of the transportation then still consisted of horse-drawn carriages.
Yet, as strange as it may sound to many people today, people enjoyed life to the fullest, despite not having the above things. They were contented with the simple things of life. People had more time for one another, not like today, where you see so many persons walking around with hand-held devices, ignoring everything and everyone around them. Everyone knew everyone else and spoke and mingled with each other on a daily basis. The family was united; most men worked and most women stayed at home, choosing to be housewives, even though a group of women was beginning to challenge the role of women in American society as circumscribed by the standards of the days: they were known as Suffragettes, who would be forerunners of the Women's Liberation movement of 70 years later.
For entertainment, life was simple, devoid of today's previous-mentioned modern-day gadgets. In the rural areas mostly, a typical 1900s family would spend a Saturday or Sunday evening standing or sitting around the family piano while one family member played while the others sang or they would play table games, such as cards, or some other family-oriented game. Another popular pastime of the early 1900s family is that they would read the Bible on a regular basis as a family. Not only did this help to familiarize family members with the Scriptures, but it also taught them literacy as well.
If they lived in the inner cities, a family on a typical weekend night might have taken in a popular vaudeville show of the day or a minstrel show, which even though may be offensive by today's standards, was the social norm. But then again, what would families of the early 1900s think of today's entertainment? Doubtlessly, they would be highly offended if not shocked. Another popular pastime of the era was that most people rode bicycles; as mentioned previously very few owned automobiles then, so for many persons this was the way they got around. Nearly everyone back then owned a bicycle. Another mode of transportation was starting to become popular: The Elevated Railroad, which was common in major cities, like New York City, to be followed by the New York City Subway a few years later.
Morals, too, were different. Most people did not use profanity openly like many in today's world do. Persons then were a lot more respectful and considerate of their fellowman's rights than they are today. Most men, for instance, tended not to curse in front of women and children and were careful not to engage in questionable activity in their own neighborhood. Women, too, were expected to be ladylike, which meant not cursing or smoking, which was then considered to be daring for a woman, and there was some who did have the audacity to smoke as well as curse in public, which could cost them a fine or a night in jail or both. Women also were not to be seen on the street at night alone without a male escort, otherwise it might have been assumed that she was a "Lady of the Evening", or what was a polite term for a prostitute.
Crime, as previously alluded to, was not as common as it is today because most people had respect for the law and tended to fear the consequences, which in many cases could be very severe. Little wonder that most criminals worked "underground", or under the guise of secrecy where they could not easily be detected or seen by the police. There were public facilities such as saloons, or as they are more commonly called today, bars, where only men could congregate, women then were not allowed in such establishments as patrons, since it wasn't considered "ladylike" for a woman to drink alcoholic beverages. They could only be in such a place only as entertainers, such as being scantily-clothed dancers in a burlesque show, which was considered by many as tawdry entertainment for men.
Children were children; they looked like children, played the games the children normally played then and acted like children. Juvenile delinquency was exceptionally rare, there were no "Juvenile Justice" laws then, child offenders got the same punishment as adult offenders, which could also incur the death penalty. Teenagers and young adults, too, were expected to be disciplined and well-behaved. If a young man professed interest in a young lady, he had to get permission from the girl's parents to court and later marry her, and he had to agree to have a chaperone come along to supervise the relationship, unsupervised dating then was unheard of, such relationships would not become a popular trend until during the First World War. It may have be considered old-fashioned by today's standards, but then again, there wasn't the illegitimate births that are so common today, which would have been scandalous back then.
Yes, life was a lot more simpler then then it is today. people were far less stressed out than than today, because they had none of the distractions that were supposedly designed to bring people together, but instead has driven them further apart more than ever before. And they had a chance to hear themselves think, as it were, without being distracted by today's noise-filled, smog-filled society. There was a lot more wide and open spaces then, too, because much of American society was still very much ruralized, even in the inner cities; There wasn't too much urbanization then, there were few tall buildings, the tallest buildings were no more than six stories high. Much taller buildings, to become know as "skyscrapers"-a term that is still used to this day-would begin to appear in the World War years onwards.
The 21st century is a very different place than the early 1900s. It has invented and accomplished things that people of that time could only have dreamt of. But ironically enough, despite its great technological and scientific advances, the world is in a state of chaos more then ever before—and the very things that have been invented by man to improve his communication with his fellowmen cannot save it; in fact, in some ways it has contributed to the state of affairs today. Little wonder it has made some persons look back with fondness at the simple, idyllic, relatively peaceful world of the early 1900s.
