      He’d probably have some good things that would be hard to grasp for him. He could easily move somewhere where he won’t be shunned for his sexual preferences.

          Think about Alan Turing getting on Facebook and seeing posts from friends or acquaintances showing beautiful sunset pictures of a friend proposing to his boyfriend. We don’t need to go back 50 years for that wonder and amazement. I have 50-60 year old friends that shake their heads in awe at the freedoms 20 and 30 somethings have compared to what my friends had to endure even in the 80s.

      Interesting question. Given how intelligent he was, I don’t think that modern tech would be very hard for him to grasp.

      I think that he’d find it difficult to understand how people the likes of Musk waste so much time and money on bullshit like Twitter instead of changing the world for better, with a snap of their fingers.

        Yeah, he would be hard to explain technology stuff to just because I’m pretty sure he’d understand it better than I did within a few minutes and start asking questions that would put me totally out of my depth
