The oldest person in the world was born in 1898. Thus, no one alive today was a child when silent movies were the wave of the future.

The first commercial talkie film was the Jazz Singer in 1927. It didn't reach Japan until 1930.
I was watching silent films in Japan in 1922. So far as I know, I'm still alive.
By the way, I still have not stopped learning.
