> I wonder what we would show the [candy selling] girl of 1922?

1. One of the banks of vending machines found in the train station where she used to work.

2. A high school classroom, as the alternative to her life of child labor.

You might also show her Spotify, Netflix, and take her on a two week flight around the world. But I feel that a machine which does her old job and a bookish life for working class youth would be the most likely to blow her mind.
