The world in which we live today would have been considered “Science Fiction” just fifty to sixty years ago. Write an expository essay* discussing the difficulties a TIME TRAVELER from 1950 might have adapting to the world as we know it today. Discuss how our lives differ from the traveler’s world. Choose a few modern technologies that our traveler would not understand, as well as technology from his/her time that has not changed all that much.
In your paper, discuss how your life would be affected if you woke up in the morning and found that you had been transported into the 1950’s. Be specific! I suggest that you discuss the 1950’s with an older person such as a grandparent.
