Perspective is a wonderful thing. Sometimes you can only truly appreciate something by making all the random thing comparisons with slightly altered parameters, for example of location, age, or time.

These cool photos, compiled by the helpful folk here at Bored Panda, gives the wonderful gift of perspective by doing precisely that. Side-By-Side comparisons of everything from astonishing pictures of before and after in the autumn time to technological advances in street lighting and size comparisons of unexpected things make for a fascinatingly fresh look at things you may have taken for granted. Scroll down below to check these interesting things out for yourself, and gain a newfound appreciation for the changes (or lack thereof) in our everyday lives!

Do you remember viruses that came with floppy disks, sometimes? It's hard to immagine your computer catching a virus without internet access...

Sometimes I miss the sound of floppy disks. These things are used as actual musical instruments nowadays.

The computer (PDA) in your hand is more powerful than the computers used to get Apollo to the moon and back.

I remember around 95 when a friend of mine got a new computer and it had a 2 gig hard drive. I said, "Who are you, NASA? Why do you need all that space?" LOL!
