Time is an odd thing and with enough time, everything changes in some way. Time affects everyone and everything, it takes a toll on all aspects of life. It might be kind of a sad fact, but it is the truth. Sometimes things change so slowly and in such minor ways that no one even realizes it until the thing is too far gone. The changes are there, but they are only noticed when compared to the original, new product. It's kind of cool to see how things change over time and to see just how different an original product can look to a used one.

Everything from the obvious things like shoes and hats from the more peculiar things like staircases and keys wear down with time. All it takes is a little bit of observation to see just how much time changes things. These kinds of comparisons might inspire someone to take a closer look at the things around them and notice how they have worn down with time and usage.

Here are 25 images of how commonly used objects have changed over time. Some of these might be kind of surprising to see and some of them might have some people wanting to replace their own old products.
