View more comments We also asked Peter why he thinks sharing historic photographs is important today. "Especially in this day and age, it is a good reminder that, while history isn't always pretty, it's okay to talk about it and enter in respectful discourse," he told Bored Panda. "I try to comment to, and talk with, as many followers as possible to share opinions and debate. It feels really good to have healthy and respectful discussions with strangers. It reminds me that this is what social media is all about. It makes me very happy to talk with others about a shared hobby/interest." We also asked Peter how he decides what to feature on the account, and he told us that it mainly comes down to "wow factor". "There's so much history out there, 99% of the time without much of a backstory or even without photographer credit," he explained. "A picture has to be impactful for me to share it. I want people to feel something when they see a piece of history. Especially for myself, seeing a memorable picture from the past helps me put life into context and appreciate the little things a bit more. I've been posting 1 post every day for over 2 years almost, and it still brings me lots of joy." #3Nellie Brown An African-American Cowgirl C 1880 s

"One person having access to millions of people by the click of a button is very impactful. There's a certain level of responsibility that comes with running an increasingly bigger account." "I've also learned lots about society as a whole," Peter shared. "Most people who comment and interact with my account are genuinely good and kind-hearted people. The highlight of my day is when I get to talk to them through the comment section about elements of a shared photo." #4An Open Air School In 1957 Netherlands In The Beginning Of The 20th Century A Movement Towards Open Air Schools Took Place In Europe

historicpix Report 482points POST Abhinc Abhinc Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 6 days ago In 600 BC, the Greeks were the first to notice that the presence of horses seemed to lift the spirits of seriously ill patients. Florence Nightingale revisited the benefits of animal interactions for her patients in the 1800s. She observed that small pets seemed to reduce anxiety in her psychiatric patients. During the 1960s, research involving animal therapy began in earnest. Dr. Boris Levinson noted noticeable changes in his patients when his dog was present in therapy sessions too. He published a book called ‘Pet-Oriented Child Psychotherapy’. 195 195points reply View More Replies...

View more comments Historic Pix is famous for going "back to the past through exploring beautiful and forgotten historical pictures", as their Instagram bio states. The account has shared over 670 photos and has amassed over 84k followers. It features a wide variety of photos, including black and white images, colorized pics, photos of famous figures and world leaders, and photographs of everyday people just living their lives decades ago. While getting on Instagram to keep up with our friends and share our best selfies is always fun, it's great to add a bit of education into our feeds as well. Following accounts like Historic Pix is the perfect way to do that. With every image, there is a brief explanation of what is happening in the photo, where and when it was taken, and sometimes even a note about how popular the image has become since the event took place. For example, one photo featuring Marcy Borders as she left the World Trade Center covered in dust after the attacks on September 11, 2001, has become an iconic photo showing the horror that took place on that dark day. The fear in her eyes, combined with the dust that covers her and the room, is haunting #7Camouflaged Road In Finland During Ww2 The Trees Are Hung Up With Rope So Enemy Watch Towers Don t See The Road June 27 1941

View more comments Photography was invented in 1839, and since then it has become an integral part of society. Newspapers and magazines were much less impactful before they were filled with photos, and today, we snap pictures of anything and everything. We can perfectly recall how we looked 10 years ago, the most fantastic meal we ate on our vacation to Hawaii for our honeymoon and what our university looked like thanks to the accessibility of cameras. And according to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, or MoMA, keeping photos from the past tells us so much about our world. "Photographs can provide glimpses into lives past, long-ago events, and forgotten places," MoMA explains on their site. "They can help shape our understanding of culture, history, and the identity of the people who appear in them. Photography has been utilized in these ways, and perceived as a tool of accurate and objective documentation, because of its inextricable connection to the real world." #101956 For A Bet Whilst Drunk Former Marine Thomas Fitzpatrick Stole A Small Plane From New Jersey And Then Landed It Perfectly On A Narrow Manhattan Street In Front Of The Bar He Had Been Drinking At

View more comments Seeing a powerful photograph can instantly transport you to a different place or time. MoMA notes how powerful photographs can be in chronicling important moments in history and telling the stories of these events. "Their context and presentation can greatly influence the way we understand everything from historical narratives to current cultural issues and situations," they explain. "In the late-19th and early-20th centuries, photographers, scientists, and social historians gathered together photographic images into archives cataloging people, places, and natural phenomena." But by the second half of the twentieth century, people began to have new ideas about how objective the photograph itself actually is. "Many contemporary artists have taken on photographs and photographic archives as the subject of their own work, re-examining and re-interpreting the histories they convey through methods ranging from appropriation to digital manipulation of existing images," MoMA notes. This has allowed them to find biases, challenge what has long been accepted as historical fact and create new stories. #131922 78-Year-Old Robert T Lincoln Son Of Abraham Lincoln Is Helped Up The Steps At The Dedication Of The Lincoln Memorial In Washington D c

View more comments Future generations will have absolutely no problems finding ample examples of exactly what our current world looked liked, but since technology like smartphones and the internet are still relatively new, it is fascinating to look back on 100, or even 50, years ago. Most of the people in these photos could have never imagined that we would be seeing them on these newfangled devices called "computers" or "cell phones". To many of them, it was probably amazing to have a photo taken of themselves in the first place. But by the early 2000s, camera phones were becoming more and more common, and after the first iPhone was released in 2007, the smartphone era had officially begun. Having a camera in the palm of your hand suddenly became the norm. #16First Morning After Sweden Changed From Driving On The Left Side To Driving On The Right 1967

It's hard to imagine that photography can progress much more in the future, as it has already advanced so rapidly over the past 200 years. But Christopher Bryan-Smith, a writer for Expert Photography, made a few predictions about the future of photography that you might find intriguing. First, he mentions that immersive photography may become increasingly popular. Christopher explains that 3D camera technology is improving all the time, and eventually, we will likely all have access to creating our own 360 or VR photos and videos. #19Hese Daguerreotype Portraits Show The Oldest Generation Of People To Ever Be Photographed 1840-1850

View more comments Christopher also predicts that cables will become a thing of the past. Apple devices are already capable of "airdropping" files between one another, seemingly magically having a photo or video show up in your camera roll or downloads, but this type of technology might become the standard for all of our devices. Memory cards, adapters and even chargers with cords might be a distant memory 100 years from now. We're all about improving efficiency, and wireless technology the way of the future. We have already seen this with the way we listen to music, as ear buds transitioned from having cords, to having one cord to connect the two of them, to becoming completely cordless altogether. Why shouldn't cameras and photography follow in the same footsteps? #22Maori Man From Hawkes Bay District Photographed In 1870 By Samuel Carnell

The charm of shooting on film is likely to make a comeback, especially today when it is easier than ever to have photos developed and delivered to your email address in minutes. Plus, there is always a crowd that loves the novelty of vintage items, from furniture to clothing to cars. Vintage photography is sure to make revival as well, and film will never totally die. Just look at how many people still love listening to records, despite music being accessible in the palm of their hands through Spotify and YouTube. As all photography enthusiasts will admit, there is nothing like a photo that's been shot on real film. #25Poor Children East London Circa 1890

Just like they helped the guards who passed at out trooping the colour in 2016, the Queen's 90th birthday and the Queen's lying in state last month. Guards passing out is not a new thing as they're standing for long periods of time. The guards are highly trained soldiers and are even taught how to 'pass out to attention.' Meaning they are taught how best to fall, how to push their weapon away from them and not to hold onto anything or anyone next to them. They're aren't just ignored when it happens either. They're helped by medics who are on standby but in a way that ensures minimal fuss and so the rest of the guards carry on with their duties. It wouldn't really do to have a whole parade of guards stop what they're doing to attend to someone who has passed out. Watch the recent video the Queen's guard who passed out at the lying in state. Live footage was suspended while the the guard was attended to. 217 217points reply View More Replies...

The State Administration for Religious Affairs said the new regulations on reincarnation are “an important move to institutionalize management of reincarnation.” What the Chinese government is really trying to do is limit the power of the Dalai Lama, Tibet’s spiritual and political leader who has been living in exile in India since 1959. The 72-year-old monk will not be allowed to reincarnate without approval from Chinese authorities. The Dalai Lama, however, has said he won’t be reborn in any place that’s under China’s control, which would make it rather difficult for Chinese authorities to locate his successor. 190 190points reply View More Replies...
