history
People in those time might treat us like Gods since we developed technology that is useful to us but make no sense to them then they will see how the future became and will be amazed and disappointed in humidity today since we are spoiled
While they live a harsh life.
It would be cool if that person from the time period traveled to this time and took blue prints to that time and builded a useful technology to benefit people in those time like blue prints for a flat screen tv.

You might enjoy A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court – Mark Twain which explores something like that idea.

First one needs to jnow when he's from: YUGE differences between 1810 Napoleonic era tech and 1890's Edisonian stuff.

1810 is going to know the Leydan jar and te Voltaic pile vs. 1890's knowing AC & DC, simple tubes etc. in addition to sound recording and at least strobocropic 'moving pictures'.

Someone from the later period might be aware of the pantelegraph, and/or Babbage's [​proposed] calculating engines. [​Also typewriters (1870s)]
