Not just impressed, actually confused about how any of it works or why it exists. Pick the year and imagine handing your current phone or setup to that version of yourself, what's the first thing they'd ask about.
It's not a bug, it's a feature

My teenage self would immediately ask why the phone has no buttons and then spend twenty minutes trying to find where the games cartridge slot went

Pretty sure I'd just stand there confused about why the internet doesn't make any noise anymore before anyone even got to explain the actual phone

My past self would be far more shocked that you can watch anything instantly than by any of the actual hardware, the sheer lack of waiting would break his brain
git commit -m "fixed everything"

Would probably just ask why it needs charging every day when the old phone lasted a full week without a second thought
