I sometimes muse about Henry Ford.  I think his life spanned the most
significant technological period.  He became and adolescent about the
time Edison made the first electric light successful, and died a few years
after the Nuclear Bomb was used on Japan.

The '70s link though, lists the dial telephone.  I recall my family had one
way back in the '50s, and may of the neighbors did also.

I don't know about your grandparents, but mine lived in an age when the
steam tractor was popular, although there were still horse drawn vehicles
use on the farm also.
