If someone from the 1950's suddenly appeared today, what would be the most difficult thing to explain to them about life today?

I possess a device in my pocket, that is capable of accessing the entirety of information known to man...... I use it to watch videos of babies laughing and to argue with complete strangers...

Go...

    An Apple Watch

    That will tell you the temperature outside, count your steps, wake you up, etc. etc.

    Equality and things that are (slowly) becoming more accepted (or at least understood/known), like gender identity. Just social politics. I mean, even stuff like tattoos being commonplace for sentimental or decorative purposes--back then, commies, criminals, and sailors had tats.

    FYI: the kids outta wedlock thing? Teen pregnancy rates have gone down drastically since the 50s. We're actually at a low for that stuff which, ehem, might've been the reason FOR a lot of those weddings. Nowadays, we just have the radical notion that maybe that's not a good reason to get married.

    I was actually referring to adults. That said, whether adult or teenager, it has become commonplace to raise children as a single parent. Back then you either got married first or got knocked up and had to marry as a result.
