If we weren't addicted to scrolling social media and were esthetically blind, most of us wouldn't immediately realize it if we were transported back in time.

I don't know about that. We didn't even have a public radio station in the US until 1920. Television didn't come around until 1925. Frozen food in 1929.
The simple act of driving to the store to get shopping done for dinner would be quite different.

Oh right, forgot about America... Imagine bulldozing your entire city just so you can live the American dream of driving for basic necessities.

Also I don't watch TV or listen to radio. Many people don't. I generally don't buy frozen goods either, I can just grab anything I want fresh from the store, it's literally down the street (Or have it delivered, like what my gf does, tho that's definitely a modern luxury). I usually just grab some meat and cream on my way from work.

My daily lifestyle outside of work as a developer doesn't differ too much from my great grandparents.
