Man had not invented pantyhose, air conditioners, dishwashers, clothes dryers, well the clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air and man hadn't yet walked on the moon.

ANSWER: This man would be only 59 years old.
Some of the things we think of as "modern" really arn't:

The first air conditioner was built in 1902.

The one first mechanical clothes driers was patented in 1892. The first electric clothes drier appeared around WWI (1915).

Radar and television both in fairly widespread use by the mid 30's.

The first dishwasher was patented in the US in 1850 but wasn't to practical. The first practical dishwasher was patented in 1886 by Josephine Cochrane, who founded a company that eventually became KitchenAid.
