LOL, exactly right.
That's the thing with these breathtaking inventions or innovations, is often, they are so hard to imagine that most folks have no idea until they come out.
I'm sure that stuff will pop up that really surprises everyone.
Worked metal whether it be copper, bronze, or iron/steel were probably shocking
Guns and/or explosives.
Electricity, especially to homes
penicillin
There's probably a whole slew of medical stuff, antibacterial, antiseptic for successful surgeries.
TV was probably a pretty big shock.
The "horseless carriage" (aka automobile/cars)
Air planes
Personal computers.
The Internet
The first pocket sized cell phones that were accessible would be similar.
Modern smart phones are more like an extension of PCs and/or the first pocket sized, accessible cell phones and/or the Internet since they really are a combination of the above.
I'm sure that stuff will pop up that most of us just don't imagine, and, I'm sure, there's a slew of stuff that I've left out of the list
