Surely they have not devolved to the point of helplessness in only 100 years.

Someone born in 1900 could totally outdo someone born on 2000 in everything except social media.

They are well adapted for living in modern cities of today providing there arent things like pandemics..

All i can say is they have adapted to the environment we provided them with, cellphones and internet included.

Is this a carry on from the 1991 threads?
Like that's what may happen to people who were born after 1991?

Nope, and not in the way your hypothetical is proposing

For matter to "travel" through time, it would need to be broken down in piece parts and then reassembled. Once the initial breaking apart began, the person would die.

In all honesty, they’d probably love it!

Imagine - a world so unlike this one. Yes, they’d have to make some initial adjustments, but I think they’d do it quickly.

Other than suffering cell phone withdraw, doubt many would want to come back.

I would survive.

But no- most would off themselves or starve to death, unable to use a manual can opener.

The modern 20 year olds would be taller and beefier than the natives of 1920. So they'd be put to work on farms, digging ditches, doing manual labor of various sorts.
