I know this is satire (I chuckled a bit) but, one side of my family, let's say they are isolated Germanic farmers, and eh, as a kid I'd show them cellphones, tablets and so on, and their reaction (or lack of thereof) of disinterest is still printed in my memory. nowadays my cousins already catched on for sure, but yeah irl this thread would never play out the way you imagine, since many people back then dreamed of 'flying cars' (stupid idea imo) or 'cure of cancer' and yet nothing of the sort, so the concepts were already familiar and generic at that point (sci-fi has always been huge.)
