Heck, we can be living in a polar climate zone and be in tropical climate zones within a day if you have the spare money to fly.

110 years (1914) people installed the first air conditions in their homes. I don't know how life was without but I can imagine.

It is utterly mind boggling that in 1902 we have never achieved flight, yet in 1969 we landed a space shuttle on the surface of the moon. The first airplane in 1903 could only fly a pathetic 120 feet (0.02 miles). The moon is 240,000 miles away.
