You have a day to source some clothing appropriate to the time period. Unfortunately, that’s not enough time to learn a dialect.

    Technology still needs to be designed to be used. Think of all the technology that still retains its basic form and only the material it’s made of significantly changing. The Boomers that call for annoying tech support questions are just refusing to learn a new skill.

      Yeah, I don’t think spoons, and sandwiches, and socks are going to change that much. Most ‘tech’ changes a couple of times in a single lifetime (this was true even several hundred years ago), but the basics stay largely the same. Language is how they’ll catch you

        Who knows.

        Maybe sandwiches have been completely forgotten and you can make a nice little business out of making perfectly ordinary sandwiches.
