Someone transplanted from the 1950s would be astonished at the change in race relations & civil rights, at the end of the Communist Menace and the rise of the Moslem Menace, a color TV, personal computers, even pocket calculators. They might be surprised that cigarettes are no longer tolerated indoors, that a pill provides reliable birth control, and that man has reached the moon. They might be surprised to learn that it was Richard Nixon, of all people, who surrendered Indochina to the Communists and who commenced diplomatic relations with Red China. They might be astonished at what is being shown on TV. The list can go on and on.
The thing that would surprise them the most is that Americans have been dumbed down to the point that they accept an unqualified foreigner as President of the country. They would never have thought it possible.
