If it was the early 1950's, then: Black people and white people can use the same facilities. There aren't "black bathrooms" and "white bathrooms." There aren't separate water fountains depending on the color of your skin.
Segregation was still around a mere 70 years ago.

Def not education
I think where technology is in general would be really difficult to grasp. Imagine telling someone you can instantly get a hold of all of your family members and friends wherever they are. Or that They could just press and button and get instant, overwhelming amounts of entertainment or up-to-date information from across the world. Imagine trying to explain how airpods work to a person that has never experienced active noise canceling. Or rule 196, or rule 34 for that matter.
