    Hi all! This video has recently been getting a lot of attention from the media. In some articles they are crediting me for having done something unique, but in my opinion this is unfair. Anyone can repeat this process with algorithms that are currently published on Github; all of them are in the video description. Credit should go to DIAN, Topaz AI, ESRGAN, Waifu2x, DeOldify and other developers who are part of the worldwide ML-community and contributing to humanity by making these algorithms publicly available. Thus, for future reference, you do not need to ask my permission to use this video; you can do with it whatever you want 💖 Welcome to the future, friends

    All these people had no idea that by staring through the lens of this new camera thing, people from 110 years later would be staring back at them...

    My great great grandmother was born in 1911 and still lives at 111, outlived 4 monarchs, World War I and World War II, outlived her two children and lived to see 10 Popes in her lifetime. She feels very good and has all the comfort in the world, I visit her as much as I can. She is the oldest person in Romania and the second oldest person in Hungary, although she is not confirmed yet. She told me so much about her life and how she went through all the hardships ever since, I wrote in a journal everything I learned from her. She had 4 siblings and they all passed away, her husband died 21 years ago and together they had 4 children who only 2 still live. She has been through so much but we who are from her generation we care for her and that she never misses love from us.
  • This is unbelievable. Like stepping into a time machine 112 years into the past.
  • @thisaintnoparty
    Funny how these people could never fathom, that more than 100 years later, they would've been watched from a smartphone screen by people all around the world.
  • So intriguing how different life was, body language, humans pace, city sound... No sirens and car music. People were much more in the present moment back then... Very interesting...
  • @Spider-man612
    To watch really old videos in a such good quality truly feels uncanny
  • Person: what are you filming? Cameraman: it's for my vlog in 110 years
  • @AllVibeVision
    It's funny how rich people owned a car back then while everyone else had a horse. Now everyone has a car and only rich people own a horse.

    I love this! Thank you so much. I have seen this film before, but the colorization adds a complete new dimension! I noticed so many things I missed in the non-colorized version.

    I’ve lived in NYC my whole life, and this is just beautiful. I wish we still had class like this.
  • World’s oldest person was 8 years old when this was filmed. She propably remembers something from those days that’s unbelievable.
  • @WILLYLYNCH.
    These people probably never could of guessed someone 110 years later would be watching them on a little screen laying in bed eating Cheetos.
  • @dabinchy1
    Very pleased to be abre to watch this magnificent video and YouTube work in it. Thank you Denis. Great work
  • 2 things stand out to me, the driving and traffic system back then, and how everyone is dressed. Everyone looks like a nice respectable person, no smartphones, it's like everything is just slower... Man technology really messed us up.
  • @8stunna201
    The Oldest person alive as of March 31, 2020 is 117 years old right now. She was born in 1903...eight years before this footage.
  • @ashspeaking7910
    Those people staring into the camera could never have predicted that I’d be laying down here on my bed over 100 years later and staring right back at them. It’s just wild.
  • @Adyman182
    Not a single person alive today has any memories of this year, aside from maybe Maria Branyas. There's nobody currently out there who can say from experience how things actually were back then anymore. Truly a different world.
