You are atime-traveller from the year 1850. You have been transported to our modern world, which you are seeing for the first time.How do you...

It would be a huge shock. First of all, the United States
is much larger now. There were not as many states back then. If I were from 1850 I would
have many questions about this.

Something else that would
be very shocking is medical technology. Many more people died at an early age due to
illnesses that are easily treated these days. Childbirth was a lot more dangerous as
well.

Just a visit to a normal home would be amazing in
itself because there are things like lights, plumbing, refrigerators, stoves, etc. They
are all things that we take for granted but someone from the past would be absolutely
amazed.
