otoh, people in both eras used gas powered cars, telephones, telegraphs, and manual typewriters. They could both go to movies, ride trains, and take ocean voyages.

A person from 1903 would need a few days to adapt themselves to 1969 technology.

But someone from 1969 coming into 2025 would be lost. Most people in 1969 didn't use credit cards, and had never seen an ATM. They used rotary phones and antenna TV.

Tbh I think the person coming to 2025 would probably have an easier time to adapt culturally, than the one coming to 69

The Stonewall Riots occurred in 1969. Star Trek's controversial interracial kiss was a big scandal a few years before. The movie "The Legend of Nxxxxr Charlie" was shown and advertised all over the country. The movie "Midnight Cowboy" got an X-rating with zero nudity and one off screen man on man blowjob.

Sorry, I think you've got it backwards.
