15+ Photos That Capture the Meaning of the Word “Change” Perfectly

Everything around us evolves at a great speed, and sometimes it’s very hard to keep up with the changes. At the same time, the difference in things we see every day might be hard to spot. In both cases, seeing side-by-side comparisons can be a great way of noticing all sorts of progress.

We at Now I’ve Seen Everything prepared some curious photos of the changes we can find in people, pets, and items around us.
