Do you reckon people from 300,400,500 plus years ago would find the 21st century to be very strange?

I mean things like television, internet, mobile phones, airplanes, boats that can travel at 100km/h, cameras, elevators, lighters, ovens, microwaves, fridges, air conditioners and simpler things painkilling pills which is like a tiny tablet you can take than can heal your pain within less than 30 minutes.
All these things are more didn’t exist back then. If a person from 300,400,500 years ago was resurrected and given the opportunity to live in present time 21st century. Do you reckon it’s likely they would find this world very strange?

Yes they would for some things, for others it would be accepted as ‘oh they eventually sorted that out’

They would be shocked at the damage to the planet and the sheer size of the population.

London was 50,000 people in 1500 today it is 9,748,000 (nearly 10 million people).

The UK population is nearly 68 million, in 1500 its was about 2.2 million.

rather than modern technology it’s the population size, availability of food and the huge range of food types.

AFAIK there were no humans on Earth 300 million+ years ago. If you’re talking about a caveman type of human I’m sure they would find everything strange and start freaking out and destroying stuff and raping women or possibly men if they’re extra freaky.

[rachel776]

he's not talking about millions of years ago, he meant 300, or 400, or 500 years ago

[meepmeeperton]

@rachel776 I see… not the best way to write that out with commas that aren’t even spaced apart.

[Asker]

@rachel776 I didn’t even write million or thousands years ago in my question title.

You can find old people alive today that find the modern world strange.

Homosapiens didn't even come along till 300k to 400k years. ago. So it'd be even worse. It'd be like resurrecting a retarded human being incapable of rationalizing any of it.

[Asker]

I never wrote 300K or 400k in my question title
I wrote 300,400,500 plus years ago.
The plus means more than 500 years.

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah, that reads 3 million 4hundred thousand 500 hundred years. dingleberry.😆

Of course they would, culturally thou they would also think our working childless women are men. For not only dressing but acting like men.

[avery58]

Even my father finds it strange

[DishLady]

[jahaims]
