I'm particularly interested in your "I just woke from a coma" opinions on the political landscape. But anything is fair game.

I would be very happy at the advances in technology but disappointed with how things are politically. I would have come from a time when we had a growing dotcom economy with a national debt that was finally shrinking to a world where jobs for ordinary Americans were being sent overseas, the US was a victim of a vicious attack and the national debt was growing because our money was being spend on both a war no one wants and tax cuts for the richest people in the country. I would look around myself and ask to be be put back into a coma until things got better

10 years ago, buying a home was a dream
Today, we have the highest home ownership rate ever.
10 years ago, the Justice department was ordering the CIA, not to inform the FBI that suspected terrorist had entered the country.

If I lived in Iowa, yes.
A better question is if I would recognize some technology.
