What happened around 1900?
Everybody went blind for a hot minute
I wonder if the spike is radio, then the dip is landline telephones followed by a spike of mobile phones?

Peekaboo was invented
Global Marco Polo tournament of 1900
prolly telephones getting more attention, or maybe that morse code thing
Wizard of Oz maybe?
