    The internet. Youd first have to explain computers, and thats not easy. Going further just compounds the issue.

      This thing does math really really fast.

      Cause it does math fast, we can use math to have it draw pictures like how you plot a graph.

      These picture drawing math machines also talk to each other like a really fast phone call, all the time. So we can transfer pictures and words between them.

      Also it makes phone calls but it doesn’t need a cable.

      Also the pictures it can send are slowly eroding the foundations of our society like tides against a cliff, and we all feel the ground getting thinner beneath our feet, but if we turn off the water, like 5 people will be marginally less rich. And having 5 slightly less obscenely rich people is deemed unacceptable in our increasingly surreal society.

      I think that’s a pretty good explanation for a person from the 50s
