I mean, depends where on earth you are, but my parents born in yugoslavia in the late 50s remember plowing with oxen, the first bw TV sets appeared in their village in the 60s, there was no in-house plumbing or electricity when they were very little, they were transporting water in buckets on donkeys etc.

- dreamcompiler 5y agoI visited Turkey in the early 2000s. It was not uncommon to be driving on a major, modern highway, crest a hill, and have to slam on the brakes because a donkey was pulling a farmer's cart in the middle of the road at 5 mph. This was out in a rural area, but still. Major highway like an American interstate.
