Vr is pretty damn cool IMO, also emulation.
The fact almost any computer after 2010 ish can basically play every single game made for every console ever up to probably ps1/ps2, is insane.
I'd imagine someone living in the 70s during the insanely fast computer power progress would have no problem believing that a newer system could emulate older system's code... Wouldn't be surprised that it was already happening back then.
Yeah, but there is also academically knowing something vs actually seeing it. I doubt those people's minds would be blown away, but theyd probably find it rather sick to experience.
