If Someone From The 1950s Suddenly Appeared

What would you find hardest to explain?

[i-need-a-martini]

I just read a book about a time traveller from the 1850's landing in 2011.

Smart phones are the obvious.

Internet.

Clothes would be difficult to explain. Or the lack of them on women I think.

The amount of traffic and the speed on our roads.

Easy travel.

DVD players, external hard drives, ipads, wifi.. anything technological really...online shopping lol.

Microwave ovens, remote control car locks........

the stuff on the supermarket shelves masquerading as food

[cherry*135]

yes, twyn,,especially all the fruit , vege and  other food packed on plastic trays with glad wrap covering it... no fresh apples from the farm (unwaxed) now.

I'd pop in a dvd of Star wars or Jurassic park on big high def tv and tell them it was documentary.

The hardest thing to explain would be why the hell would I feel the need to explain anything to a person who had the intelegance to master time travel
