Imagine a family with young boy from a rural area and a middle class background in the year 2000 was transferred to the year 1950. Another rural, middle class family with a young boy was transferred from 1950 to the year 1900. Which boy would get a bigger culture shock from a technology standpoint?
In 1900, no cars, no electricity, no television, no radio, no home phone, no airplanes. Horse and buggy, newspapers, and letters in the mail.
In 1950, no home computers at all, man had never been to the moon, and all the previously mentioned technologies such as cars, planes etc. were at the stage of a 1950s clunker, a 1950s passenger plane etc.
I'm leaning towards 1950 to 1900 being a bigger technology shock.
