Smartphones for sure, or just computers in general. It would melt their minds.

Push-up bras and other enhancements to cleavage. All those medieval dudes were short compared to us, so he'll be walking around with all that at eye level: "Zounds! If this is heaven, then we are in it!"

Ancient Romans had indoor plumbing too, at least the rich ones. Crazy how 1000 years later in the same city, they didn't have it. Tells you what happens to technology when a great empire falls..

And I'll say internet porn. No more fapping it to 15th century issues of Sears catalogue lingerie section.

Didn't woman wear corsets?

I don't know if a smartphone would blow their minds that much because it would be irrelevant to their viewpoint of life.

Supermarkets because its greatly enhanced food gathering and probably health.

I would vote that the photocopier and digital scanner would blow his mind.

You know what would really blow his mind, the Hubble

Oh and modern fire arms

Would a king need porn though, they head first night rights, they could clap their hands and any comely lass would satisfy them.

I don't think so, didn't corsets first start out being made of whalebone? Maybe they had cloth equivalents back in the day, but they had nothing like our advanced bra technology.

Good point, I guess I'm more thinking of your average commoner Renaissance teen. I change mine to KFC double downs.

EDIT: Another actual one; space travel, or human flight in general. Also, our peaceful multicultural society. Pretty rare in those times, especially in western Europe.

Actually, Didn't he die just before the Americas were discovered?

That would probably blow his mind the most. That or you know... Space.

If peace is too boring for him he can always go to a soccer game and interact with the fans.

So you're saying that Neil Diamond would blow his mind?

He would be least shocked by the fact that the Canucks still haven't won a Cup.

Flying steel dragons, horseless carts that move on their own accord, wizards who summon fire at their finger tips, demons who ride on 2 wheels, and man/woman hybreds.
