    otoh, people in both eras used gas powered cars, telephones, telegraphs, and manual typewriters. They could both go to movies, ride trains, and take ocean voyages.

    A person from 1903 would need a few days to adapt themselves to 1969 technology.

    But someone from 1969 coming into 2025 would be lost. Most people in 1969 didn’t use credit cards, and had never seen an ATM. They used rotary phones and antenna TV.

      No, most people in 1903 lived not that much differently from the Medieval times. Urbanization was still low then. An average person from 1969 would adapt to 2025 much faster then an average person from 1903 to 1969.
