What would surprise a time traveler the most??

[RhyperiorRanger]

The INSANE price increase of everything. In the 90s if you walked into a fast food restaurant with $5 you were gonna have a good time, nowadays $5 gets you a cup of ice with a paper straw

[marvelousmrjohn]

The near extinction of shopping malls and arcades would not only shock a 90s kid but probably drive them to a mental breakdown.

I'm almost 40 and I'm still not over it.

[brucemangan]

The fact that we have phones in our pocket that can access all the information ever recorded by human beings… and we use it to argue with strangers and look at cat videos

[wendiwasden]

God so many things:
1. Kids not outside
2. The crazy advanced technology we gave
3. The price of everything

[blossomplayz]

Gen Alpha Slang.
No explanation needed.

[mrsschnid]

As an early 80s baby, everything would surprise them...mostly the lack of children running the neighborhood til dark

[russs]

I think it would be how rude we've become toward other people, and how little respect we treat each other with.

[nathantherandomguy]

I think a good one would also be that you literally are tracked everywhere you go.

[eleanorjones]

I fully heard "lunch" the first time watching 😂

[bassetfreaks]

I would say our phones. We were always told “you’ll never have a calculator in your pocket!”

[Devynwithawhy]

Wait, so you're telling me that you have a T.V, phone, library, camera, atari, jukebox, calculator, grocery store, warehouse store, and notebook IN YOUR POCKET!?!

[anthropomorphicOrange]

I got it. Our addiction to our phones. In 1990 people still used landline phones and pay phones. It would immediately blow their mind that people are walking around outside staring transfixed at a small electronic device and glancing at it while driving as it's attached to a windshield. Our phone addiction would baffle people from 1990.

[tylerhatala]

i feel like they would be disgusted by our society and how separated we’ve become! social media feels like it’s separated us more than anything else!

[linley-jane]

All technology in general would be another one.

[monunyabidness]

Blockbuster not existing would surprise them more.

[LucasCarroll]

I feel like 9/11 would surprise them the most.

[thevoiceofevan]

Eggs cost like $20 and we still ain’t got flying cars

[phoenixfriend]

I was going to say the fact that we still don't have flying cars and we don't dress in spacey-neon clothes like most 80s/90s kids shows that were set in the future.

[lemonator]

Why we're not flying around in cars like The Jetsons yet! 💔

[geektheology]

The whole premise of Eminem Houdini? Guess who’s back?
